The car was found about 12 hours later Sunday afternoon, it had a flat tire and had been abandoned in the parking lot of the Firestore Tire Store at Road 68 in Pasco. Ironic. Had the suspect waited around perhaps he could have had it fixed?!?

Police are seeking 26-year-old Blaine A. Marino of Pasco, as the suspect in the alleged theft. There may be, say Police, other allegations as well, but for now they want to locate him for the car theft.

Dumping a car with a flat at a tire store...hmmm.

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.
