The grocery store industry has adopted the 15-ounce package to replace the 16 ounce size, so shrinking the gas tank size would likely work.

Going to metric Litre's would work too.

Or, we could just quit restraining our enegery sector, & produce more oil to bring prices back down...there I go being logical again sorry

When did you last see ice cream being sold by the half gallon?

Now that we got used to that, they said. hmmm, let's charge more per ounce because consumers will never notice what we're doing to them! NOT SO FAST, Buster!

I've noticed this as well. Luckily they show the price per oz in small print below the price. I think it's a two pronged attack. It screws the people who don't read that price sticker and it encourages bargain hunters that do to buy two of the smaller ones. I've fallen for the 2nd ploy telling myself "Well, I showed them" as I walk out with twice as much corn starch as I will use in a lifetime.

It is all about Perception and Feelings with the Democrats and with a $5 per gallon average our Feelings are turning sour.



With the media on their side they should be able to sell this idea of "cheaper" gas to the masses and we can all feel a bit better about the economy, inflation and the future if fuel was $2.50 again (for a half gallon)...

I can hear the media now singing "Happy Days Are Here Again" as they dance around a gas sign with the price of $2.50 posted. Yeah but look at the details kids that is for half a gallon..



Will the Biden WH do this for a perceived "win" ?
Some have way TOO MUCH time on their hands!

As usual, people still defending the idiot in chief.
Also noted and reinforced, liberals have zero sense of humor. Total stiffs.
