Ok maybe you can help me with math. Now I know this is 2006, and when I subtract 30 from that I get 1976. After doing a little looking around I see that gas was .59 that year. Now I do not know much about numbers but I do know that 100% of .59 =.59. Now If I multiply 100% by one hundred I get 800%. So if gas was .59 in 1976 and it has gone up 800% shouldn't it be .59 times 8 to get the current price for today? My calculator tells me that equals 4.72 a gallon. Will you please tell how you came to the conclusion that gasoline has gone up 800% in the last thirty years.
