(NEXSTAR) – Temperatures around the country aren’t the only numbers reaching new heights. Gas prices are also heating up, reaching a nationwide average of $3.76 per gallon on Monday, according to AAA.
The situation is way worse out West. In California, the average is $5. Washington isn’t far behind at $4.95.
Gas prices typically rise in the summer, but the heat is making it even worse this year, industry experts say.

The Commies at The Hill are economic midgets. Gas prices have absolutely nothing to do with the Saudis cutting production. /s

Increased crime? because of weather.
Gas prices up? because of weather.
Test scores down? because of weather.

If you go online search engine, there is a “huge list of things blamed on climate change” the list is truly huge- whatever you can think of is blamed on climate change... ie, prostitution, dogs barking more, cats meowing less, birds eating more, on and on and on it goes

They think we're stupid? 50% of Americans believe the lies and think Biden is doing a good job. They
stupid. They're liberals.
The other 50% think that they will save America simply by voting. Which is stupider?

Remembering fondly the Good Old Days, when we were energy independent and gas here in Northern CA was in the low $2 range... I suppose, though, that the democrats are right— we can’t really have the masses happily darting willy-nilly all around the country. Or to work on a daily basis.

And that we’re unaware that Deep State is still EXPORTING record amounts of US energy.
WTH is it going?!

If Americans were that dumb Deep State wouldn’t have to steal our elections.

“Gas prices typically rise in the summer, but the heat is making it even worse this year, industry experts say.”
Having worked at gasoline refineries myself, I would guess the overall average temperature of the refining process is around 500 F.
If anyone really believes that a 10 degrees increase really affects refineries...

More bull spit from the commie left. They don’t say how we went to being dependent on foreign fuel after shutting down the USA spigots, thanks to the Biden crime family.

The USA was a net petroleum producer until the government decided to strangle production. Buyden set expensive restrictions on production on federal lands. EPA manufactures restrictions over “global warming’. States like Colorado are anti petroleum and restrict the industry with “clean air act” restrictions on Methane. Fracking is maligned in their restrictive world. Colorado makes drillers build a 20’ fence around the sites to hide the drilling.

I saw a YouTube video awhile ago about how many oil derricks are right in the metro area of Los Angeles, CA. Just pumping away day after day. They are in buildings and disguised so that you can not see them from the street.

Have you ever encountered any Democrat voters?
I just ran into one, last week, who thinks that “transgender” is completely normal. Yeah, she went cuckoo when challenged.
Reprobate ....... mind.
