Average gas prices in US reach $3 a gallon for the first time since 2014, AAA says

The average national gas price on Wednesday hit $3 per gallon for the first time since 2014.

Costs have been on the rise since a cyberattack over the weekend forced Colonial Pipeline to temporarily shut down operations. The pipeline delivers nearly half of all fuel along the East Coast.

“Areas including Mississippi, Tennessee and the east coast from Georgia into Delaware are most likely to experience limited fuel availability and price increases, as early as this week,” AAA spokesperson Jeanette McGee said Tuesday in a news release. “These states may see prices increase three to seven cents this week.”

As of Wednesday, Americans were paying just over $3 a gallon on average for regular gas. That’s up from $2.985 the day before and $2.863 the previous month, AAA said.

When Bush was president, media types camped out at gas stations, waiting for the owner to arrive and change the sign from $3 something to $4 something. They faithfully filmed the changing of the sign.

Under puppet man, nary a peep. They will defend one finger joe no matter what.

It’s about $3.15 a gallon in my neck of the woods (a rust-belt state). I sure wish President Biden would just fix the price at, say, $1.99 a gallon. You know, kinda like what they do in Venezuela. Then everything would be fine.

I can’t believe all the great things Biden has done in just his first few months:
1) Energy Crisis
2) Middle East Crisis
3) Border Crisis
4) Unemployment Crisis
5) Inflation Crisis
6) Rampant Crime Crisis
7) Personal Freedom Crisis

What does it say when literally the first thing you do to start a presidential administration is stop the Keystone Pipeline? Libs have this hangup with fossil fuels then fly around in their jets.
