Gasoline prices are pushing even farther above $4 a gallon, the highest price that American motorists have faced since July 2008, as calls grow to ban imports of Russian oil.
Prices at the pump were rising long before Russia invaded Ukraine and have spiraled faster since the start of the war. The U.S. national average for a gallon of gasoline has soared 45 cents a gallon in the past week and topped $4.06 on Monday, according to auto club AAA.
“I am looking at the possibility of walking to work,” said Asiya Joseph, who had just paid $4.29 a gallon at a BP station in Brooklyn, New York. “This is the first time that I am filling up my tank in like, 10 days.”
The price of regular broke $4 a gallon on Sunday for the first time in nearly 14 years and is now up nearly 50% from a year ago.
The price is even higher in Europe, averaging 1.75 euros per liter last week, according to the European Commission, the equivalent of $7.21 per gallon.
GasBuddy, which tracks prices down to the service-station level, said Monday that the U.S. was likely to break its record price of $4.10 a gallon, but that does not account for inflation. In today's terms, the record price would be equal to about $5.24 after accounting for inflation.

To resurrect and retask an elegant phrase from the late John Nance Garner, 32nd Vice President of the United States, while describing the vice-presidential office, Joe Biden “isn’t worth a bucket of warm “spit” (noting that his original word was censored and replaced with “spit”). It takes little imagination to guess what Cactus Jack’s original word was.
In any case, it fittingly describes our current president and the job he is doing. Joe is the most unAmerican president in US history.
This stupidity is imposing a horrible hurt upon the working poor. Crucify the honest, hard working poor men, women and children of America over the most two corrupt places in the world, Ukraine and Washington, D. C.
How did famine caused the French Revolution?

Funny how the “party of the working man”, now led by “lunchbox Joe, the scrappy kid from Scranton”, is always willing to pull money out of the working man’s pocket, isn’t it?
If they can’t raise taxes, they get it some other way.
Why are we buying Russian oil when we have plenty of our own?
