The price for an Uber ride is going up soon. Starting next THIS week Uber will be adding a fuel surcharge for every ride and delivery.

Uber is charging an extra 55 cents on rides and 45 cents on deliveries to help cover the gas. (WILX)

Outstanding.

If it makes you feel any better, it won't last forever. Just a few months. Until they see how long this gas thing is going to last and they figure some other things out.

The extra charge will be added to rides starting Wednesday.

Uber said it will re-evaluate the surcharge in 60 days. (WILX)

Now you have to decide if it'll be cheaper to drive and go get your own food.

And honestly, will this be enough for you to stop using the service or will you just roll with the punches and keep on paying for the convenience?

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.
