I'm surprised at the high level of traffic moving in and around my area with these gas prices so high.
Traffic does not seem to be affected at all.

I’ve adjusted my driving habits very significantly in the past couple of months - no jackrabbit starts, trying to time red lights, no unnecessary trips to town, etc. It amazes me to see how many folks DON’T do this.

Actually there is. Oil is a futures commodity. The actions of Biden raised futures prices.

So, reverse them all and open up more US oil and the price would start dropping at the pump significantly.

Those people need to go places. They’ll just have less money for other essentials – queue the need for more social programs and services, i.e. taxes.

Takes me a month to use 14 gallons. And I’ve always got $1 or more off a gallon through Kroger or convenient store points.

Everything I need is within a 2 mile radius, even work.

But even $4.79 a gallon is ridiculous.

Trump lowered the prices once, he can do it again.

Um, we were energy independent and gas prices were markedly better just 1.5 years ago. I wonder what’s different?

It depends on the meaning of “Immediate.” L.G. Brandon’s actions drove the price sky-high in 12 months. Trumps actions brought the price WAY down inside 24 months on the job.

we are trying to cut back on trips to town (and are succeeding) and we top off the tank on every trip

Our heating tank was half full, and we topped it off last week at a cost of 730 dollars. Now that HURT.

This is actually a back-door lockdown that the elites wanted. They couldn't do it through another pandemic because people weren't going to play their game this time.

So, they created scarcity in the oil market and crippled the supply of gas.

Think of all the summer vacations, tourism, and trips to relatives that have been cancelled, and think of all the restaurants, hotels, and bars that will see reduced traffic as well.

Watching snow bird movements and RV traffic are good ways to see the effects of gas prices.

I've got nice properties around me that have been vacant for two years. Landscapers still come.

What little I see looks like a lot less RVs traffic. But I put on less than 500 mi. last year. No reason our mileage will exceed 350 miles this year, lol. Good Lord willing and the creeks don't rise.

On Fox’s Maria Bartiromo we saw Wyoming Senator, John Barrasso, Senate Conference Chair spell out why the gas prices are intentional. See his interview here starting at 13:50:

You might want to watch the entire show from the above link.

Gas prices would start to fall immediately. All Biden would have to do is signal that The U.S. was going to vastly up production.

Topped $5 in much of NJ today. I saw it at over $6 in several gas stations in Montgomery County, PA.

You are exactly what the Democrats want in all Americans. They don’t want any of us to stray more than two miles from where we live.
