Americans Hurting From Record Gas Prices As National Average Approaches $5

It's a good thing democrats are for the poor people. 😂
Hey someone voted for Biden!
"It's how you deal with failure that determines how you achieve success" – Donald Trump ❤️🙏😞
Gas Prices are so high it take 60 bucks to fill up my 1999 Toyota Tacoma a compact truck w a inline 4, imagine the people w big v8 cars and trucks.
When our national average hits 5 dollars, I think we should try and do what England did with Boris Johnson, hold a no confidence vote.
dont worry folks, the much needed US$ 40 Billion relief fund will be handed out real soon… to the Ukraine…
kudos to the house and senates, they understood their constituent's suffering, acted swiftly and accordingly by rapidly approving the US$ 40 Billion aid package… this really show how much they care… for the Ukrainian…
Poor wealthy family is complaining about gas prices on their privileged road trip!
The US oil drillers are intentionally not drilling to pad shareholder dividends.
Pioneer has said the exact same thing here: https://youtu.be/FnnTMlNbfK4?t=24
Simple
We are not in bunkers with no water, food, electricity.
Mass shootings, insane ⛽ prices, what else? SMH!
I was working in memories driving trucks and had to commute from Oxford Mississippi everyday. Last summer wen I started it took 130 a week on gas for a camaro now it’s 300 a week so yea This is getting very outrageous
I rather spend $80 on the road than paying $200 per airline ticket. Use your brain, America?
Gas is above 5 a gallon and this a “strong economy ??”
So 2.50 and below is weak?
Please tell me how !
government crooks At it again
Whatever it takes to help Ukraine
Thank Trump!
Love how biden can send 40 billion dollars to Ukraine but can't help his own people.
Yay Biden voters! You guys are so smart!
White greed is the problem shut up
Joe Biden does not care about the American people
I have to laugh every time they mention a strong economy
If you can afford to take a 6week trip, fuel prices will not be your concern
Joe Biden does not care about the American people.
6 week trip with kids. I can't even afford a weekend trip to grandmas by myself.
Boycott all gas stations and penalize oil corporations NOW
People are going to start wearing "Heeley's" to work and do errands.
Oil companies are happy.
It could be worse … We could all be Hummer owners 😂 … $500 gets them down the block 😂
We need Trump!
Drive your car half way to work and bike the rest … and bike it back to your parked car (I cant stop laughing im in tears)
People are going to get so desperate and start watering down their gas to make it last.
Nobody seemed to want to talk about fuel consumption during the 20 year tribute to John Wayne in the middle east..
What did you 21 to 30 years old expect when you wanted minimum wage to got to $14.99. The cost of everything will go up. None of you people thought of that. Just saw Dollar sign
"President Trump said Friday the U.S. would reduce its oil production to move forward with a tentative deal limiting global output, part of an effort by the administration to address sinking prices affecting American oil producers."
Well isn't it nice that you can actually go on a road trip for that long. Obviously you both have jobs with a ton of vacation. Stop complaining about the gas price and enjoy yourselves.
It’s funny how people think that biden and the Democrats are responsible for high gas prices. Oil prices are set by the free markets and opec is a huge influence. Even if the USA wants to “drill drill drill” other oil countries can cut production to keep supplies low and keep prices high. Russia and Ukraine are huge oil nations and the war is scaring market speculators which in fact is driving high prices. Trump, biden the Virgin Mary can’t do much about it unless they find a way of stopping the war.
Gas car’s killing our 🌎 faster then ever…
