Here's something most of us can relate to--being stuck in a traffic jam. Who doesn't absolutely despise that with every fiber of their being? It doesn't matter whether we're stuck in traffic for 20 minutes or an hour or possibly even longer. It's a major headache and it's frustrating because that's "lost time". Time that we will never get back.

Recently, a study was conducted that looked at cities across the globe to determine which of them were the worst for traffic jams. Guess what? A city in Massachusetts made the top 10.

But, before we get to that, let's delve a little deeper. INRIX, the transportation data and analytics company, published its annual Global Traffic Scoreboard and one particular city in the Commonwealth, Boston, apparently has traffic snarls that are so bad, it landed in the top 10.

The fact is, if you've done any driving in our state's capitol whatsoever, then you're not surprised that Boston appears on this list. One of the few places(that I know of) where certain streets come together in a triangle. Let's take a look at the Top 10 Worst Cities For Traffic Jams(from the bottom up):

Check out this stat that came out of the INRIX study. The typical Boston resident lost 134 hours stuck in traffic in 2022! Take a look at the Global Traffic Scorecard for yourself here. It's pretty fascinating.

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.
