DAVID KELLEY'S CANCER BATTLE

Right now David is in the fight of his life. He had the top part of his lung removed due to a PET scan showing signs of cancer on September 6th, 2022. They removed seven limp nodes that came back as cancer. The doctor said they believe they got it all, but he had a port put in to do radiation.

He still has 5 weeks of radiation left, and then 12 weeks of chemo. He needs 12 months of an immune boost as of right now, so he's going to be down for a while. His wife Kaye, sons David Lee, Christopher, William, and Michael, and his bonus son Johnny Benson is helping him through his journey. He's surrounded by many family and friends who are by his side for support.

LOOK: See how much gasoline cost the year you started driving

To find out more about how has the price of gas changed throughout the years, Stacker ran the numbers on the cost of a gallon of gasoline for each of the last 84 years. Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (released in April 2020), we analyzed the average price for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline from 1976 to 2020 along with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for unleaded regular gasoline from 1937 to 1976, including the absolute and inflation-adjusted prices for each year.

Read on to explore the cost of gas over time and rediscover just how much a gallon was when you first started driving.
