Could there be a light at the end of this tunnel as gas prices are seeing a decline. Prices at the pump have dropped considerably since last month, but we are STILL hovering over the $4 mark throughout the Berkshires and our immediate tri-state region. Drivers welcome the minimal savings, but we STILL have a long way to go before we see identical prices from a year ago. We have found some gas stations here in the beautiful Berkshires where you could get a slight bargain when filling up:

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.
