How’s it looking in your area? $4.29 for 89 octane here.
A very long, LONG two years ago, gas wasn’t half this much. Let’s see how long it takes for it to become affordable again.
I’ve been hearing since Ukraine mattered that 7 bucks a gallon was possible this summer. Hmmmm.
According to AAA, regular is going for $4.21, premium for $4.76 and diesel for $5.43 per gallon. While a lot of stations were below the national average, KOB 4 found one gas station that has a price per gallon so high, it's causing double takes.

You know, all those times that leftists have said that we went to war for gas you’d figure we’d have enough if it were true?

I think that one belongs in one of the “ReCeSsiOn!” threads. lol
saudi arabia started an oil price war with russia. (which they will probbaly lose)
the result is crude oil is plunging,opened down 30% now down 20%
dow futures 1100 lower.
this will probably kill a lot of US jobs as its going to bankrupt a lot of oil companies.

It’s not Biden. It’s Trump, or Putin, or Covid (which was also Trump’s fault).

How exactly does a President control gas prices?
Seriously? Let’s see, when they send a message to the world that the US isn’t in the oil game anymore with something as simple as immediately canceling the Keystone pipeline, then passing a SLEW of regulations on the oil industry, then talking about “windfall profit taxes”, then canceling leases in Alaska, then not doing a THING to deter Russia… the list is VERY long how the president can impact the oil prices. The last time oil was over $100 was Obama’s second term. You think that’s accidental? Oil averaged about $85 during Obama’s tenure. It averaged about $65 during Trump and it’s already over $100 again with Biden in there. Bush was also terrible on oil prices but he was a globalist so he had every incentive to keep it high. Any guesses where it goes from here?

Does a President have any influence on either supply or demand?

Keystone talking point needs to die. Not a lick of oil would come to the US from that pipeline addition.
Do you have any specific policy that Biden enacted that drove gas prices up?

Oil prices are down why not gas prices?

On Global supply? Maybe. Tell me how?
Do you think oil companies like or hate high oil prices?
What policy did that? Oil futures are down but gas prices aren’t.
