It contended that such an increase in prices at the pump could lead the national average to rise to $2.65 to $2.75 per gallon—the highest prices seen since 2019 and the highest seasonal prices in more than five years. More than forty states are already seeing gas prices higher than last year, with half seeing double-digit increases.
“The quicker the affected refineries are able to come back online, the better, and perhaps less painful for motorists than if they remain out of service for even longer,” Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said in a statement, adding that the national average could surge to $3 per gallon closer to Memorial Day weekend as refineries eventually begin to switch over to EPA-mandated cleaner summer fuels.

“At $4 per gallon, the Dems lose control of the House and Senate in the mid-terms.”
How will gas prices cause them to lose control of the voting machines?
LOL! One can hope. Seems like if your guy has 100 votes, instantly the other guy has 110.
I’m calling gas BIDEN GAS. Trump said that gas will hit $5.00
per gal this summer. Better get locks for your cars.
Of course it’s going to happen. dems in control have explicitly decided to kill the oil/gas/petroleum industry and to force us to depend on wimpy sunlight.
Plus they will add a few taxes to gasoline.
My brother said gas is now $4.49 a gallon in Nevada
We’re gonna need a co signer for groceries and gas, before long.
I am seeing 10-15 cent increases at the pump every few days. Not content to doing 2 cents a day.
Yep. As gas prices go up, so will groceries and goods.
$4.05 here in L.A. County at multiple stations yesterday.
They must be loving it...
California already has $4 a gallon plus!
If you can find one————-
We just drove from south Florida to Dallas Texas. Did not see a single Biden sign. We did see plenty of Trump sings
Easy.
Democrats take control.
Its all part of the plan.
Out with Gas cars.
In with Electric (battery) cars.
Then the power grid fails.
I’ve seen premium as high as $4.34 in the OC.
Could?!? Bet on It being more than $4 a gallon
It keeps rising and the media reports that the reason is people are driving more now since the vaccine is out. SMH.
“Of course it’s going to happen. dems in control have explicitly decided to kill the oil/gas/petroleum industry and to force us to depend on wimpy sunlight.”
Just like Obama, they will only kill the marginal producers.
The Big Boys will make out, by their stock now and fill up for free on the profits and dividends. I’ve done so for 40 years.
In less than two months, Pig Face Bidet managed to get the price raised over a dollar.
I guessed 3 dollars by Memorial Day, four dollars by the 4th of July. Or maybe Labor Day if we’re lucky.
