From the the 1979 Pan Am annual report.....

"Ten years ago (in 1969) - when aviation fuel was ten cents a gallon - Pan Am operated 131 707s and was the largest operator of that aircraft type in the world. Now that the average price of fuel is approaching a dollar a gallon ...
I believe that although jet fuel for much of the 1990s bounced around USD 0.50/gal, spiking up to USD 4.00 in 2008 and still USD 3.00 two years ago, we are now back down to USD 1.00, around the same price as in 1979,nearly 40 years ago

Road fuel is starting to creep up again in the UK - is that happening in the US as well ?
