Gasoline is lowering Russia and they are fighting a war and exporting oil. Maybe use their roadmap to lower gasoline prices.

We understand that European countries tax the bejeezus out of gas.

We also understand it was massively cheaper here a year and a half ago.

I don’t think lower prices is what they want. They went to force people into electric cars. Maybe they think electricity is generated by the tooth fairy.

There’s a reason other countries have high gas prices: they are not major oil producing countries. We are— or would be if we were allowed to. There is no comparison and no excuse.
