The 13 best country music bars in New Jersey

You don't necessarily think of New Jersey when you're looking for a bar that features country music.

You also might be surprised at how many country music fans there are here in the Garden State. And not just in South Jersey, but all over the state.

LOOK: See how much gasoline cost the year you started driving

To find out more about how has the price of gas changed throughout the years, Stacker ran the numbers on the cost of a gallon of gasoline for each of the last 84 years. Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (released in April 2020), we analyzed the average price for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline from 1976 to 2020 along with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for unleaded regular gasoline from 1937 to 1976, including the absolute and inflation-adjusted prices for each year.

Read on to explore the cost of gas over time and rediscover just how much a gallon was when you first started driving.

He asked that to his Facebook following, here's some of what they came up with.
