FYI - When Obama first took office gasoline was $1.87 per gallon.

So, there's that.

Keystone XL being cancelled. Anticipated new regulations on oil exploration on Federal lands. Anticipated increase in automobile fuel efficiency standards.

Our have gone up 45 cents in the past six weeks. Biden is going to shut down the ND oil fields. He is going to shut down the pipe line from up that way also. THEIR GOAL IS TO COMPLETELY GET RID OF THE GASOLINE ENGINE. They want all electric cars. I heard on Newmax TV the other day that they want to cover the great plains with WINDMILLS!!! There goes the birds, millions massacred.

Not just gas prices. Grocery bills are also rising noticeably. Dreaded inflation is well on its way.
