NEW YORK, July 10 (Reuters) - U.S. drivers have seen gasoline prices climb again after weeks ​of steady declines, as renewed fighting between the U.S. and Iran lifted crudeoilprices to their biggest weekly rise in eight weeks. Disruptions in the global refining ‌system and robust U.S. fuel exports further tightened supplies, and average pump prices rose 6 cents this week to $3.88 a gallon on Friday, AAA data showed. It was the biggest weekly increase since mid-May.

This is not as bad as under Obama and Biden. People are traveling and buying as if nothings changed.

Funny how high gas prices were good when the global was warming. Also, gas is under 5 dollars a gallon at a few gas stations here in Commiefornia for the first time in 3 or 4 months.

Oh, and Newscum and his Furrie band of demonicRATS added 14 cents to our gas tax as of July 1st.

Where was the story about the pain that caused, 'Rrhoiders?

AWWWWWWWWWW! Poor babies. Paying about four bucks per gallon.

I filled up this morning for about $6. That is normal for CaCaLand. Mind, half of that is taxes so Newscum can bribe his way into the WHouse. Which he will so long as y’all allow mailin ballots anywhere.

But, but, but.... the biggest increase since mid-May! The horror.

“It was the biggest weekly increase since mid-May.”

I live in LA, even with the “Cease fire” gas prices here are high due to NewSCUM’s gas tax even before the war started gas here was over 5 bucks a gallon

I remember when Biden begged Putin to invade Ukraine that Colbert went on his lil show and said that not only does he not give a damn about high gas prices he’d be happy with 15 bucks a gallon if it makes people buy electric cars

That’s terrible! 6 cents X 20 gallons is $1.20!! Gasp! You can’t even buy anything at Dollar Tree for $1.20.

Yeah, wonder if all the suicide call centers are overbooked to talk them out of panic.

“US pain at the pump worsens after more US-Iran fighting lifts oil prices”. Not seeing it here gas is down to $2.232.

Central KY. Locally they dropped 30¢ today

Midterms a few months away, it’s time for the worst economy in 50 years and crushing gas prices even if they’re lower than they were under Biden

The media seems to have forgotten about egg prices as well

> Wow. Six whole cents. <

It’s odd, but it’s also something that many people focus on.

Maybe that’s because any price change is obvious. It can be noticed immediately. And then folks will be looking for someone to blame.
