gas prices got you down? they are pretty normal here in Hawaii...so far

[msongs]

10 yrs ago the avg price of a gallon was around $4.25. they dropped gradually to around
$3.25 and have now crept back up to the 4.25 level. so technically that's a big increase but just back to the old normal...for us. what is your situation?

1. I've lived though some

crazy times and I’ve never paid for gas as much as I am paying now and that goes for the food I buy. I can manage that but I’m getting nervous about this winter heating

2. I drive an electric car so I could care less,

electricity is cheap.....😜
I really don't.... yet

4. In Texas?

If Texas has another winter like last year, or worse, you could be staying home a lot.

3. For all the complaining....

reich-wingers are doing, do they not realize this would still be happening if their lord and savior, Large Orange Anus, was still in power?

During the height of the COVID pandemic no country was using petroleum products. Those petroleum companies lost tons of revenue, and do you think anyone, even the Large Orange Anus, is going to allow those petroleum producing companies to lose one penny of expected revenue?

The same exact thing would be happening right now no matter who is in the White House, and quite possibly even worse.

So screw the reich-wing snowflakes who cry like old grannies at weddings. Suck it up, 👶❄ babies.

5. I can remember paying more...

..than today's price. But it's like another poster said, the demand dropped during the pandemic and prices followed demand. It's ain't "democrat socialism" that has the prices up...simple supply-demand economics at work. Biden said it in a speech yesterday...the entire planet suffered some degree of pandemic shutdown and supplies weren't being produced.

When demand exceeds supply, prices go up...
