When I topped off the tank on Saturday at Costco and saw the price-per-gallon was $1.69, I just had to take a picture of the price at the pump. I immediately started thinking, "when was the last time gas prices were this low?'

So when I got home, I looked it up. According to U.S. Energy Information Administration, it was $1.45 in February, 2016. It was under $2 for a few months during that time.
