What was the highest price ever before the price rises of 2000?

The highest prices we have ever had were in January of 1981. Unleaded regular was $1.439. At that time we had leaded regular which was a bit cheaper. President Reagan signed decontrol on January 26, 1981. Prices have declined since until the round of increases starting in early 2000. Also all motor fuel taxes have increased considerably. The city of Peoria has also added a city sales tax and a city motor fuel tax.
