I tell you what, the Hartford Fire Department sure knows how to bring a community together. In July they had a huge turnout for their Hoses and Hot Rods event. Everyone came together to check out the vintage vehicles, jeeps, bikes, and more. Residents came hungry to take advantage of the delicious food trucks and family fun. And, now we have THIS to look forward to!

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.
