Hi  Oppenheimer1945

For Question 2

from 1991 - 1992 = price per gallon was above 1.8 and the falls - so not considered
from 1992 - 1993 = below 1.8 - 1
from 1993 - 1994 = below 1.8 - 2
from 1994 - 1995 = below 1.8 - 3
from 1995 - 1996 = below 1.8 - 4
from 1996 - 1997 = below 1.8 - 5
from 1997 - 1998 = below 1.8 - 6
from 1998 - 1999 = below 1.8 - 7
from 1999 - 2000 = below 1.8 - 8
from 2000 - 2001 = goes past 1.8
from 2001 - 2002 = goes past 1.8
from 2002 - 2003 = below 1.8 -   9  
from 2003 - 2007 = goes past 1.8 atleast once
