12 Things That Cost Less Today Than in the 1900s

Gasoline

1915: A gallon of gas in New York City would’ve cost you 21 cents at your local “filling station” — $5.14 a gallon now.

Today: You’ll only pay about $3.00 a gallon in NYC.

Many of us aren’t old enough to remember paying 21 cents a gallon for gas, but it wasn’t as sweet as you may think. That’s over $2.00 more for a gallon today after you adjust for inflation.
