ahh, the good old days
...I recall buying gasoline when it was under $0.30/gal (U.S.). Back then cigarettes cost ~ $0.22 a pack.
I bet other commodities with pricing manipulated by our government or other cartels also show "deviant" behavior...I don't have data but I'd expect to see that for corn, milk, gold.
I recently came across this graph that shows "inflation adjusted" price of gasoline and it does not even include the most recent drop back to "normal" ~$2 +/- levels that are currently in effect.
