In the early 2000's I paid over $5/gal for regular gas and still traveled long distances for vacations. So, there is still a lot of room from where we are now before I get too worked up about it.
$5 where? The most expensive pump price for gas was $4.14 and diesel was $4.84/gal in 2008

When I lived in Homestead, Fla in those days I paid $3.099 for #2 diesel - based on $99/bbl. Since then prices dropped to less than $2/gal. Last week visiting the same city I paid $3.199 - based on $64/bbl.
The most people would have paid on $160/bbl crude would have been $4.84/gal - but oil never reached that price
I paid more than $4.14 back when gas hit its peak and my state isn't anywhere near the top of the gas prices. I can remember paying $4.28 a gallon for gas because I'm a fan of the 428 Cobra Jet engine and that stuck in my head for some reason. It may have been higher than that at some point but I'm not sure.
