When you put that in comparison to today's dollar, 27 cents sure was very expensive in the old days. Remember that bread loaves and such were sold for five cents, etc...
Use this link to check what 27 cents was worth in early 1900s...

If in 1913,I bought petrol for 27 cents per gallon,
then in 2004, the same gas would cost $5.11!
On a side note, that 99 cents in 1999 is same as $1.11 in today's dollars.

Prices vary wildly not only from state to state -- as much as 45 cents -- but even more so around the world.
By MSN Money staff
In mid-April, here's what you would have paid for a gallon of unleaded in eight countries around the world:
Belgium $4.73
France $4.75
Germany $5.14
Italy $5.08
Netherlands $5.61
United Kingdom $5.31
Spain $3.72
Japan $3.34
On Tuesday, the average price of a gallon of unleaded in the United States was $1.844, according to the government's Energy Information Administration.
In the United States, each gallon of gasoline is taxed 18.4 cents by the federal government and then with excise and sales taxes in each state. The tax per gallon averages 42.7 cents, slightly over 20% of the price of $2-a-gallon gasoline. Less than 1% of the federal government budget comes from the gas tax.
In the United Kingdom, however, gas taxes provide 17% of the government's budget and make up more than three-quarters of the cost of a gallon of gasoline. Taxes in Italy, Germany and France raise 4% to 5% of the national budget revenues, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
Here's a look at gas prices as of May 4, courtesy of AAA, and a state-by-state estimate of taxes per gallon.

Looks like the world oil fields are shrinking fast. Looks like we will have to use renewable energy like wind, solar, and tidal.
