As of yesterday (haven't been out yet today) it's about $0.35 short of having doubled in the last year, to $3.939. Went from $3.399 on Monday to $3.539 Wednesday to the $3.939 Thursday.
My paid-off home value rose from $550k to $1M, so $4/gal gas here in SW Florida is no biggy. I burn ~1 tank/month being a work-from-home semi-retired business owner.
High gas prices crush the bottom 40% who are renters, & are a pain to the next 40%...home-owning strivers who mostly commute to work in a gas car.
To the debt-free top 23%, even $10/gal gas is nothing to lose sleep over.
I can't deal with over $3.20 a gal pal. Now got a EV. I am just very ODC about gas prices. I got plenty of money honey but some things i have quirks about.

I would sell soon and rent as what is coming will be worse than 08 nate.
If you're not into a thread ignore it - no need to be rude to people that are contributing to the thread.
Correcting misnomers is actually very important and should never be censored (although I'm sure there are those that would prefer not to hear honesty)

In Auburn, WA, which is about 20 miles from Seattle.
On Monday, regular, the cheapest place in town, was $3.95 and on Friday of the same week, it shot up to $4.25 on Thursday of the same week.
Thank you Brandon for screwing over the working class that has to drive to work. Seriously. I would take Trump’s mean tweets and cheap gas over the senile guy that’s now the POTUS AND screwing up almost daily.
I wonder if I should even bother chiming in because I’m terrible about remembering gas prices. I don’t know what it is, but I suspect it’s because I only fill up once or twice a month. Even before I was working in the office and not remotely pre-pandemic. So we are talking about me spending $5 more (or less) a month even if gas swings 30 cents high or low. But it would be good for me to know since it impacts the prices of transported goods.
Anyway, filled up last night and it was 3.79 a gallon.
More so than gas prices directly, the cost of groceries impacts me. I used to spend $80-$90 a week on at the grocery store for me and my daughter. Now it’s usually $110-$130 a week.
But like some else said, the flip side is the value of my house has shot up and I am selling next month. So that’s good. I’ll be moving to a lower cast of living area too where I can buy a house for cash with the proceeds from the sale when I’m ready.
Thank you President Biden please don’t let the USA produce our own oil I enjoy suffering and paying higher prices.. not just at the gas pump but food and utilities. You are amazing in one year you have made inflation the highest a true sign of a leader lmao
