My New Worst Intersection in Great Falls

Across our fair city of Great Falls are a few intersections that can be a little dicey.  Intersections that have twin turn lanes are always a problem, with the inside lane drifting over.

Of course, 10th Avenue South is busier than many streets, but the corner of 13th Street and 10th Avenue seems to be receiving a lot more as of late.  And those that travel from south to north seem to have forgotten who has the right of way at the little blinky light.

LOOK: See how much gasoline cost the year you started driving

To find out more about how has the price of gas changed throughout the years, Stacker ran the numbers on the cost of a gallon of gasoline for each of the last 84 years. Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (released in April 2020), we analyzed the average price for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline from 1976 to 2020 along with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for unleaded regular gasoline from 1937 to 1976, including the absolute and inflation-adjusted prices for each year.

Read on to explore the cost of gas over time and rediscover just how much a gallon was when you first started driving.
