The nationwide average price for regular gas hit a reported six-month high of $3.60 a gallon on Tuesday, spiking more than 50 percent under President Joe Biden.
In the past month, gas prices rose more than 20 cents. They are over a dollar more expensive ($2.38) than when Trump left office.
Gas prices remain high and could go higher due to industry and political factors. Biden’s economic war on American energy independence during instability in the Middle East and in Ukraine are significant factors.

What’s your point? I wrote basically the same thing as you. What you wrote also only mentions a price hike, nothing else.
If everything we buy is carried thee by plane, train and truck, then what we buy will have to go up in price if gas is up.
Thus, how can the utopian low inflation future just before the election come true?
Also people who commute for work or work in sales and have kids going to practice and lessons driven by parents pay a fortune when gas goes up. Money which cannot go to the economy as retail purchases, food or savings. Or vacations and entertainment. So bad economy, right?
Which is why you meant to finish the post by saying “so I’m on the bus most of the time. Takes a lot longer and is inconvenient but good for the climate and in line with leftist urban policy.”
Heh; I’m saving all the pennies to fill-up the Jeep’s 25gal tank.
Will this will make others as angry as I am?——
California, Maryland, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Washington and the District of Columbia have made the commitment to stop allowing sales of new gas-powered vehicles.
The states’ plans have not required votes from their legislatures. Instead, they’ve been advanced with support from governors and environmental regulators.

Other articles are about curtailing gas stations.
“Sorry, 112 % increase but that is bad enough.”
That makes more sense.
“Other articles are about curtailing gas stations.”
That’s what will come too soon: the EPA regs putting refineries/ gas stations out of business, and forcing ICE-to-EV conversions, even faster. They will cripple and kill America for their phony-baloney, criminal ‘green’ crap.
I merely put it in context.
I can only get about 23.5 in my tank.
(I’ve no idea how much is left in it when the Fuel Low light comes on.)
Well!
A 'commitment' is worth about what the job of vice president says it is.
What did I 'imply'?
I used data from the link you provided.
$36/kg up from $13.14 per kilo is hardly a 1400% increase.
The problem I have is not with you, but the link.
They talk above the cost of apples going up, but then they compare it to the cost of tangerines.
It gives data showing a 20% in 3 years for hydrogen, then it chastises electrics for being so expensive. (What was the price increase, in 3 years, for the electric?)
Then someone has hacked your FR account.

Kill off the Keystone XL.
Send lawyers after oil companies.
Deny drilling permits in the Gulf.
Drain the SPR.
The major oil companies are not exploring for new wells. They are working the hell out of existing wells but that is not good for the future of supplying our energy needs.
That’s a link. Maybe someone hacked your brain.
