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.

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.

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.

All that a Democratic-style “cure” takes is a few minutes with desperate Democratic-pirated Oval Office pen and phone (p&p) imo.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Oval Office gas price drop p&p happens a month before Election Day in desperate attempt to keep alleged election-stealing Democrats and RINOs in power.

After all, desperate Democrats can then claim that their America last political agenda fixed economy to try to win Election Day.

In fact, patriots are reminded that they must vote twice this election year. Your first vote is to primary career RINO incumbents. Your second vote is to replace outgoing Democrats and RINOs with Trump-endorsed candidates.

There's No Immediate Cure For Sky-High Gasoline Prices

What a stupid statement.

“There’s No Immediate Cure For Sky-High Gasoline Prices”

Sure there is. Turn America’s oil companies to use America’s more than adequate supply of oil products.

The cure will be an economic collapse.
2023 will be a very bad year.

“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.”

The larger vehicles will start to cut back at $10, smaller ones closer to $15. Before that people will simply cut back in other places, with the obvious choices first.

"Obama to Trump: ‘What magic wand do you have?’"

Remember how jobs came back AND inflation was in check? Rhetorical question...
