The average price of a gallon of regular unleaded gas on Memorial Day over the last 10 years, per GasBuddy.com’s Patrick DeHaan – noting that of course prices were down in 2020 due to COVID:
2024: $3.55/gallon
2023: $3.66/gallon
2022: $4.93/gallon
2021: $3.54/gallon
2020: $2.31/gallon
2019: $3.46/gallon
2018: $3.70/gallon
2017: $3.06/gallon
2016: $3.03/gallon
2015: $3.63/gallon
2014: $4.82/gallon
Not that much higher now than it was in 2019, the year that everything was just perfect. Actually cheaper if you account for inflation, but that’s not really the flex you might think it is.
