"She said it was expensive ($2.85/gal)..."

I don't know where you live, but in the small city I live in, which is about smack-dab in the middle of New York State, gas has been over $2.90 for weeks.

She meant gas was expensive from what it was averaging before Biden stole the election. It's been $2.85 for weeks here too. That's not gouging from the pipeline hack that caused this shortage on the east coast. IOW, it was already that expensive before the hack.

The difference between 2.90 versus 2.85 on an 18 gal. tank fill up is only 90 cents. Not an arm and a leg unless you drive a lot. Fortunately, we don't. It was just under 1.80 a year ago. Most of the increase has been since Biden has phuqued things up.

We use gas for our farm equipment and filling up our two cars every couple of months or so.
