Unless you are in Cali, if you are paying more than 4 a gallon for reg, you are not trying.
Edit to say: I did not realize that the west coast was all paying so much. Just goes to show, once again, that blanket statements are always wrong.

It wasn't fair for Biden to be blamed so I suppose it's not fair that he's not being given credit. But folks generally aren't dancing in the streets over the drop in gas prices because the price is still high compared to the past few years.

I paid more for gas this week than I did when everyone was complaining, we were still under $4/gal. Yesterday the cheap stuff ass over $4/gal, premium - which is what my daily car uses- was $4.50/gal and diesel was over $5/gal.

the freeways are even over $7 per gallon. I hope it gets back down to the $4 to $5 range soon or else we're screwed come November.

gas went up by 20 cents in my small town in Iowa and has remained at the same at $3.89 ever since.

Big Oil is gonna keep the tightening the screws whenever/wherever they can.

For regular. $4.69 for premium at the cheapest place which is a 20 minute drive from me.

No matter how anyone tries to spin it or gaslight it, these prices are ridiculous.

And it's a 24 mile round trip to the nearest gas station. The next nearest is a 32 mile round trip.

This isn't a competition between us. Neither of us should be paying this much for gas. Even if someone somewhere is paying $20 a gallon, I am still paying over $5 a gallon for gas and I have never had to do that.

When I run errands in town, I try to combine as many stops as I can for that one trip.
