During the obama biden era I often paid four bucks a gallon. Adjusted for inflation that would be $5.40 today.

People can’t do math.

Good point. But unfortunately, most people just don’t care about that. Tell them, and it would go in one ear and right out the other.

Instead, you’ll get, “Gas went up 15 cents last week, and I am pissed!”

They say the Chinese play the long game.
Americans, not so much.
