Gas stations across the country are facing fuel shortages, driving prices to a seven-year high as more than 40 million Americans prepare to hit the road for the Fourth of July weekend.

The nationwide average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gas hit $3.09 on Monday, the highest price Americans have been asked to shell out ahead of the holiday weekend since 2014, according to data from the American Automobile Association.

AAA forecasts that 43.6 million Americans will travel by car this weekend — the most so far this year.

If you're old enough to remember the 70s, you're probably thinking to yourself: 'It sure seems like I've seen this movie before.'

Does anyone know if Biden owns any peanut farms?

Biden: I can assure all of you today, I have no nuts.

One major difference, we can be self sufficient NOW, unlike THEN. This is totally on Biden.

I remember the 70’s quite well. I was a cab driver in Northern Va. Try doing that for a living with gas prices thru the roof.
Oh, and my cab was a gas guzzling Ford LTD.

We paid a daily rate ($31.00) for the cab and kept it 24/7. Sundays were a rent free day. We also paid for our own gas. Repairs were made by the “crew owner”.

When gas prices went up, you had to drive longer hours and sometimes didn’t even break even. So working 10+ hours on Sunday was crucial.

This is phase 1 of “build back better.”

I don’t know if he owns any peanut farms, but he does have a peanut for a brain.

I drove from LA to the Bay Area yesterday - filled my tank up for nearly $5 a gallon. Hard to believe that even Biden could have wrought this much damage this quickly, but there it is.

[napscoordinator]

2.99 in central Florida. That was yesterday. I haven’t seen what today’s price is.

[TexasM1A]

2.599 this morning in Shenandoah Texas, guess I filled up before the weekend price jump that is coming.

Deep State really hates the idea of Americans having the freedom to go wherever the Hell we want, don’t they...

How can that be when we are energy independent?

[ScubaDiver]

$3.73 for premium in PB County at crack of dawn, this morning. I think regular was $3.03.

Wasn’t that long ago when premium was < $3/gallon.

[353FMG]

This is due to Biden’s anti-MAGA policy

[familyop]

I was running gas stations (company stations—not dealerships) during shortages in ‘79, if I remember the year correctly. Converted them to self-serves. Lot of mad customers. It wasn’t fun.

Gas was through the roof during ob.... terms too. Yet Inexplicably he won another term, when high prices usually historical.y meant the sitting president lost his job.

Me thinks the second term was stolen now too.things were miserable, yet he got in a second term? Something tells me we are about to see a repeat. I think elections have been corrupt for a long time now, but the ,ast one, they really
Ulled out all the stops, knowing they could get away with it

$3.30 on east coast

[Bob434]

We have risen $1 dollar a gallon since Biden usurped the presidency just6 months ago. This time next year itl probably be $2
