Any answer given is relative. As raw numbers go, gas hit it's height during the days and weeks after 9/11 when gougers were charging $7-$8 per gallon in some places, this under the office of George Bush. The height of market prices fall under the Obama administration. The highest by comparison to wages would go to Woodrow Wilson when gas was .20¢ a gallon, but the average American annual income was $1,500.00. At 15 mpg, the old Model T would have tipped a whopping $113.00 a year to run (10,000 mile yearly average), about 14% of the year's bankroll.
