If you get a text message asking you to validate your driver license with the Wyoming Department of Transportation, don't fall for it.

WYDOT says scammers are sending texts that seemingly give a final notice about a “license waiver validation” and include a link to a third-party website to “avert a suspension.”

"The scammer’s website has been designed to look like a WYDOT website," WYDOT posted on its Facebook page. "Sometimes reminder texts with deadlines are sent as well."

"WYDOT is not and will not send text messages of that nature and does not seek personal information in this manner," the agency added. "If you receive a text message like this one, avoid opening the link and giving your personal information."

WYDOT encourages anyone with questions or concerns to contact their local Driver Services office.

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.
