Gas prices aren't that bad when you compare them to the inflation of other products. This isn't a secret and you can easily check it for yourself. Compare this to a gallon of water one of the most abundant resources, to something that takes millions of dollars to produce like oil.
Compare it to a 1960's Silver Quarter.
I did a research paper on it several years ago in which a gallon of gas cost about 5-10% more than the metal value of that quarter and that both follow a similar path from when the quarter bought a gallon of gas outright in the 1960s to 2008 where the metal value could still technically buy a gallon of gas in 2008.

I should also note that the real premise of the paper was a guide on how going back to a metallic based monetary system would be bad in the end and how our current monetary system could change to relieve this massive debt crisis we have.
