I would venture to say that the price of gas in the past 30 years has NOT kept up with inflation. Especially considering that in 1987 when I returned from Japan gas was $1.14 a gallon. The house I live was selling for about $60,000 Today gas is just over double what it was 18 years ago. My house is currently valued at about $350,000 nearly 6 times what it was selling for in 1987.

I am sure if someone was bored enough they could find a website showing the average gas prices by year, then another that shows inflation by year. Then they could do a comparisons over say the past 35 years and either prove my statement true or false.
