No, it has always been this way.. well always as in last couple gens before that, donno, would have to look it up. Global market sets the price per barrel of crude based on supply n demand. Maybe, it has something to do with increased state and fed taxes since then and or the price of other things related to processing the crude into gas? Remember back during Biden, they were pressing HIGH taxes on natural gas and gasoline to combat "climate change".. Some states STILL are doing that btw.. like WA for one.. Our Dollar as well has weakened since the 90's .
