They do generally go up during peak driving sees and you’re going to see higher prices than you’ve ever seen before I predict by July 4 in the middle of the summer driving season you’re going to see gasoline prices possibly at six dollars or $6.50
And it’s speculators, not actual cause and effect of supply and demand. I noticed in past years the much colder and even snowy Spring driving was much lower as people did NOT “go out to enjoy that sunshiny Spring weather with more driving” as the lying cliche said.
In some states the pollution punishment is to have more expensive “summer blend” gas as part of the law to hurt drivers and help fight the phony climate change.
