The national average for a gallon of gas is a few cents short of $5, and there’s no sign the prices will plunge anytime soon. Several states are spiking upwards of ten cents a day. A recent poll shows Americans are cutting back on eating out, making impulse purchases, and even driving. According to AAA, 75 percent of commuters they’ll put a pause on driving when gas hits $5 a gallon, but that may happen this week.

Gas has been well over $5 a gallon for over a month in Las Vegas
Meanwhile our fearless American leaders drive around in their $100k suvs and make more than you and I combined.
I pay 6.59 to 6.89 But I get decent gas mileage so it a a huge deal.
The oils companies know than get away with gouging as long as people keep paying. They will push and push. They do it every time they find a meaningless excuse.
There’s no shortage they are just seeing how far they can push it and there are enough people willing to pay that they are getting away with it.
Elections have consequences
Why? I’m working for gasoline 🙁😒
Time to take over Venezuela and load them barrels for free. Doable in a week.

And the Disaster Beijing Biden still doesn’t let the oil drillers to continue drilling for oil in US. You vote for a disaster, and you shall receive what you have asked for. Now shut up
And this is why even on a fixed income I tip a lot more for an Uber/Lyft on the rare occasions I use it. That & the last guy got me to my doctor's appointment in time after sooner ride broke down & didn't call.

Whooo hoooo!! I can’t wait till 10.00 gas prices! This is going to be epic!! But it’s Russia’s fault!🤣🤣🤣 I mean trumps! I mean Ukraine’s! I mean it’s everyone’s fault but Biden’s. He doing good job!🤣🤣🤣
high gas prices don't seem to be stopping anyone from driving
Americans Never see the whole picture!
The Oil Companies around the World are Price gouging Everyone, because they Can!
The 70s gas wars was a warning that this could happen again!
The Democrats have been Wanting to change energy resources for decades but Oil Company bribes and Lying Republican Officials have been the Cause of Our High Prices here in the States!
Republicans Believe In Getting into office, Doing Nothing But blaming Democrats and Getting Paid!
Greed is the Only Republican agenda!
Vote Biden 4 year more have faith
Fun fact: Obama was president in 2008. Biden is president in 2022.
We pay $5.89 here in Illinois
Biden 2024👎🏼
our country is being managed horribly. especially california. homeless everywhere, rent spikes and everything going up
Fossil fuel companies are price gouging Americans. These same fossil fuel companies donate millions to republicans. There was a oil and gas price gouging Bill voted on and every single republican voted against it.
The same goes for dealing with gun violence. True actions shows when there's votes on Bills to help deal with high gas prices and gun violence. When a republican votes against Americans, look to see if the corrupt pos got any donations from fossil fuel industry or with gun violence voting, look to see if the politician got any un-American NRA donations.
Vote out any republican that voted against the oil and gas price gouging Bill. That's a easy one.
Or $70 on a 90s honda civic lmao
