I'm thinking I'll see it top $5 in the next 30 days.

If it stays over $5 for the summer, we're completely screwed in the fall

Price $3.74 when I went in and $3.89 when I came out 90 minutes later. This is price gouging.

Came down to 3.19 when the prices dropped a month + ago
Saw 3.89 yesterday locally, I went out today and ignored the signs

Western New York. I've never seen it go over $4.00 here, ever. I've never seen it approach $4.00. 😳

It's gone up over $1.00 per gallon in the past week. I've seen them change prices during the day, when they changed them overnight.

This is the petroleum industry holding Americans hostage. They're going to make Biden open up every square inch of the country for drilling, again.

So far, the only ones I hear complaining about it are the apolitical and the hipster prophets of consistent doom.

CBS Evening News had a poll tonight-- 7 out of 10 adults believe paying more at the pump is worth the freedom of Ukraine. That's a solid number. I think a lot of those asleep finally heard the guns near Kiev, and may begin the realization that blood is in fact, worth more than petrol.
