You should be happy gas prices are going up. people will drive less, use less energy to heat their homes thereby saving the planet from the climate change boogeyman doomsday. So why are you all getting all worked up! Isn’t this what you all want and voted for?
Geez, speaking of snowflakes....who else besides you is getting worked up?

As I've said, I will be happy when people drive less.

The summer under I think BUSH (Don't kill me if I'm wrong on that), where it was close to 5 dollars a gallon was the best summer on the water ever. Nobody wanted to take out their boats. Made it excellent to get out and enjoy amazing places with friends and the idiots stayed on land!!

You are too funny. The only people I have seen get worked up about gas prices own big v8 trucks and boats with 4+ engines on them and are wealthy beyond belief.

Pay to play folks.. that's how it's always been..until a pandemic hit and no one drove anywhere, driving down demand to unheard of low levels.

Both Bush 1 and 2 gave us record oil prices in 1991 and 2008 thanks to their failed wars we lost.

I have been worked up since the 1980's on gas prices. Never should have been over 80 cents a gal pal. I have a modded 2021 700hp Camaro that gets 8 mpg. Once it goes over $4 a gal i am done driving.

I don't particularly enjoy driving a 4 banger turbo either. However it is what it is. I bought the 4 cyl. when Trump was pres. because my Explorer sport Twin Turbo V6 was using too much gas.

The point is I wish we could all drive V8's all day long, but Biden has nothing to do with the fact that we cant. This gas spike was coming with Trump or Biden in charge. People are traveling in record numbers since the start of the pandemic. Demand is spiking.

Oh the joys of capitalism.

Didn't all who could raise their prices the last time gasoline went up. Were the prices lowered when the price of gasoline went down?

You want to have that GMC Denali with the 8.4L motor? Gotta pay to play my friend. It's not going to change the amount of times I start my 6.2L boat motor. Cars I can deal with, but a boat needs gas, oh well.
