'Outrageous': Sky-high gas prices are changing the way Americans live

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

DENVER - "Ridiculous." "Outrageous." A necessary "sacrifice."

From New York to California, Florida to New Jersey, little red numbers at gas stations remind Americans that driving has just gotten a whole lot more expensive. Drivers across the country spoke with USA TODAY reporters as gas prices hit a national average of $4 a gallon, the highest they've been since Aug. 8, 2022, according to the price-tracking service GasBuddy.

It's not just the price, but the size of the increase driven by President Donald Trump's attack on Iran that has some drivers taken aback. In a single month, prices rose $1.05, the biggest-ever one-month jump recorded by GasBuddy.

Drivers said the price rise is reshaping how they live, work and travel, with higher commuting costs cutting into earnings, and high prices making it harder to visit family or take vacations.

4. $8.00 a gallon yesterday at the majors

on Airport Blvd leading to SFO rental car dropoff.

(There is a Costco on the same road at $5.29 BTW, which is still a good price in these parts.)
