Pain at the Pump: Gasoline Rises to 7 Year High, Up 40% Since January
breitbart ^ | 7 Jul 2021 | JOHN CARNEY

The national gas price average has increased 40 percent since the start of the year, according to the latest data from AAA.

Gas prices are up from $2.25 to $3.13, the motorist service club reported. Ac cording to data from the Federal Reserve, this is the highest price for gas since October 2012.

“Moreover, it is not stopping there. Motorists can expect gas prices to increase another 10–20 cents through the end of August, bringing the national average well over $3.25 this summer,” AAA reports.

“Robust gasoline demand and more expensive crude oil prices are pushing gas prices higher,” said Jeanette McGee, AAA spokesperson. “We had hoped that global crude production increases would bring some relief at the pump this month, but weekend OPEC negotiations fell through with no agreement reached. As a result, crude prices are set to surge to a seven year-high.”

Biden has long ago exterminated any cost-of-living increase to Social Security elders. Wish he could feel a little of the hurt that his inflationary tactics inflict on retired seniors. Like me.

Of course the media would like you to believe it’s all Trump’s fault. If they can’t blame him then they don’t want to talk about it.

The left means to drive the proce of gasoline so high that you will eventually be forced to purchase a technically inferior electric vehicle.

The upside for the Dem lefty tyrants is that the People will not be able to fully exercise their freedom of travel and freedom of assembly.Our own lefty government is waging war on the People, based on some arcane environmental ideology.

Stock markets about to tank today. If the markets collapse, it will be a 50+ House seat pick-up in 2022. I only hop we can elect actual conservatives this time around.

We just bought two diesel vehicles and for the first time since I can remember diesel fuel is cheaper than gas in Denver. It’s far cheaper outside of Colorado, but it was always more expensive here.

Just when the phracking got cracking, and we once got below two bucks per gal. I stopped cringing when starting my old V8 Merc. Now that feeling is back, worse than ever.

Real good question, not sure of a good answer. They would just need to be made very uncomfortable for most likely an extended period of time.
