Local traffic was impacted, as Police investigated. I came upon the scene on my way to work this morning. Instantly, my heart was heavy with grief for the victim. Dylan Stills lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a streetlight pole at the intersection.

I've seen so many accidents at this particular intersection. It's dangerous.

The City of Richland is working to replace the traffic pole.

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.
