    Sure is a lot of whining around here! At least we have a good reason for higher fuel prices, this time.

    What was Biden's excuse in June 2022 when gasoline hit $5.00???

    I think the Good Lord EVERY DAY Kamala wasn't elected.....she would've been worse than Al Gore or Hillary Clinton combined.

    Um, a not-too-surprising, and quickly resolved, mismatch between stimulated demand and supply reestablishment while trying to accomplish recovery from a deep pandemic downturn?

    The resulting $5 a gallon in June 2022 was due to a war started by Vladimir Putin.

    The current ris in gasoline prices is due to a war started by Donald J. Trump.

    Right, that also was happening in petroleum markets at the same time economies were working to recover from the pandemic downturn....

    I grew up in Oklahoma where 120 mile round trip for a quart of milk was normal. Regardless, frequent stops helps a lot.

    And how does that help me pay $1,250/month medical insurance for house keeper?

    How about gas from Caddy that toes her business trailer?

    We still need to eat so how cheap when the food is grown, harvested, and delivered with diesel?

    The pain today is real and getting worse versus your ‘straw man’ that never happened. So I will vote my wallet in November.
