POPSGas Prices: Funny, Not So Funny Amazing how everyone has already forgotten the sticker shock when it surpassed $2 per gallon. In January 2006 we had prices almost that low, about $2.19 per gallon. Now we are paying almost one dollar more at 3.09. The crude price rose due to war fears about Iran as well as a devalued dollar. Americans are paying a War Tax at the pumps , in addition to Fed and State tax of about 45 cents/gallon (the gov't makes more than oil companies on this high tax).
