The average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline in the United States hit a seven-year high this week according to the latest data from AAA showing the going rate is $3.22 per gallon, a cost not seen since this month in 2014. In some states, the cost per gallon is even higher like in California where the average price is now $4.42. In certain metropolitan areas, gas is more than $5 per gallon.
Just one year ago, the average price for a gallon of regular unleaded was only $2.18, according to AAA. The current spike in prices to near-decade highs comes amid inflation caused by the Biden administration's economic policies and busts the president's claim that rising prices are merely a "transitory" or temporary fluke caused by the economy bouncing back from impacts of the Wuhan coronavirus. Now more than eight months into Biden's administration, the president has not managed to build the economy "back better." From the gas pump to the grocery store, construction costs to rent, Americans' wallets keep taking hit after hit as a result of extended unemployment benefits, self-inflicted supply shortages, and other Biden economic policies.

Gone are the days of gas wars of 15-20 cents a gallon.
If this keeps up, the Dems will be slaughtered in the mid-terms. It's probably already past the tipping point.
Gas shortages are about to return.
F Joe Biden.
Ain’t seen nothing yet
I remember those in ABQ in the mid 60’s time frame.
Did they start up the busted pipe in caulifourkneeuh yet?
Voting machines ….. the new rabbit hole
Don’t know
Well that makes two of us too lazy to check. Anyone? Bueller? :-}
I’m sure that if inflation had suddenly jumped into double digits during President Trump’s first year in office, the entire MSM would have joined together and accepted the explanation that it was only a “transitory” form of inflation, and would have repeated that characterization every time they mentioned the subject.
Not that President Trump would ever have made such a lame attempt at an excuse.
When one is not in control ….. anything and everything usually happens
Who needs gas?
Doesn’t everybody own an E.V. by now? C’mon man!
See post 1 this thread.
Don’t forget about the cheating.
Time to declare price controls on gasoline and food and rent
and heat for the home.
Ain’t such a thing as inflation, as long as money printing doesn’t have to match the economic strength.
Besides,who is owed the national debt? Whoever holds the debt, will have to accept payment via more debt. Credit is the greatest invention that man has ever come up with, more important than the wheel.
Wish that were true. We are stuck with the DEMONCRATS in power until at least January of 2023. Biden’s approval rating is meaningless.
These leftist screw up every damn thing they put their hands to. Good grief!
Does anyone here really think Buck Fiden really gives a shit about gas prices?
F Joe Biden
