The national average price for regular gasoline reached a new record-high on Tuesday, according to AAA.
The new high — $4.37 a gallon — breaks the previous record of $4.33 set on March 11.
Gas prices jumped 5 cents overnight and a whopping 17 cents in the past week, CNN reported.
California, Nevada and Hawaii have all reached an average of more than $5 per gallon. Diesel fuel also set an all-time record on Tuesday of $5.50 a gallon.
“With the cost of oil accounting for more than half of the pump price, more expensive oil means more expensive gasoline,” AAA spokesperson Andrew Gross said. “These prices are creeping closer

O'Brandon, with a big flourish, releases oil from the strategic reserve to fix the shortage problems HE caused. The result, FAILURE AS USUAL. There was a slight pause in April and now prices are surging ahead. Dem morons have been told over and over that their "climate" policies would cause great price rises. Some dems WANT this to happen to cut gas usage. Well, now we have it and the impact is aimed squarely at low income families who CANNOT afford it. Many families barely making it are being shoved off the cliff. Further, we just had a 5% Social Security increase. It will be even more next year; excessive demands on a system that is already going to be out of funds soon. These inflationary raises are going to speed up the shortfall.
Dem are KILLING the Country with their insanity.

Our enemies -- Russia, CCP, Iran, etc. -- are just sitting back laughing at us while we destroy our economy over the illusion/scam of "climate crisis." They do not need to do anything to defeat our country, because we're on the path to defeat ourselves.
"We have met the enemy -- and it is us." Let's go, Brandon!

And the lo-fo's still believe old poopy pants ludicrous claim that the pain we feel at the pump is all because of Putin. I can't avoid the hopeless feeling.

Remember who is actually running the administration. This from 10 years ago: 'Senator Inhofe said. "Remember President Obama himself declared a war on affordable energy when he said that under his plan of a cap-and-trade system, electricity prices would 'necessarily skyrocket.' And don't forget that his Energy Secretary Steven Chu said '[s]omehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe.'
He got what his Fellow Travelers wanted.

Everything that The HairSniffer's handlers have done, from Day One of this Reign of Evil, has been to weaken and eventually destroy America. Cutting off the petroleum supply has put how many tens of thousands of oilfield industry people out of work? The doubled or more price of fuel has driven Inflation, which is destroying the value of the currency.
"The surest way to attack the Capitalist State is to debauch the currency".... Lenin
Much of the Fertilizer is made from natural gas. The natural gas cost increase has caused the price of fertilizer to triple. Farmers cannot afford the fertilizer needed to grow the food, we are looking at a food shortage in the coming year or so.
.... and this is only one of many 'fronts' in their War on America.
Unlimited illegal immigration, refusal to prosecute criminals, forcing 'Whitey is Evil' / CRT / Transgenderism on the members of the military services, this new 'Disinformation Management Board' which -mark my words- will soon be working to criminalize any speech that does not Toe the Leftist Line.... this list goes on and on.
Obama, Soros, Putin, Xe, the Mullahs in Iran, Maduro in Venezuela..... all are laughing as America circles the drain.

The local gas station near me had gas 14 cents a gallon cheaper than the other day. This station's gas prices jump all over the place. Another gas station about eight miles away selling the same brand sells its gas from 30 to 50 cents a gallon less. I guess it's location, location, location even for gas stations.

Still nowhere near high enough to suit the ecocrazies. In Italy and France about 3-4 years ago, diesel was running about $9 per gallon. Few European cars actually use gasoline any more since it is more expensive than diesel, and diesels can get better fuel economy.
They want us all riding bicycles or public transit or some silly electric golf cart things with high prices, short range and very long charging times. And if many people get these electric jokes - there will be more and more brownouts and rolling blackouts, because their fairy dust "green energy" doesn't work, either.

It's rising noticeably here. Generally around $4.19. I see residue of scraped-off "I Did That" stickers on a lot of pumps.
