Starting more like 1975, or 1980. Up until about '73, it had barely increased since the 1950s.
1973 was probably the cheapest in real $ ever, prices today are roughly 5.8 times higher, so an average of 35 cents/gallon in '73 would be roughly $2/gallon today. I would say we're getting close to cheapest ever territory. Wish the circumstances were better, though, really can't enjoy it.
