Hold on...

"Measured in real dollars, gas prices peaked in March 1981 at more than $3 per gallon. We have not even come close to paying the highest real gas price in history — today's prices are still 30% below the all-time high."

I just paid $2.84 a gallon in New Jersey - not too far from the "all time high" of $3.00 - so if I complain today, does that mean I am acting like a 14 year old?
