Americans who have been cooped up at home over the past year during the COVID-19 pandemic will likely pay $3 a gallon for gasoline when they emerge from lockdowns this summer and resume traveling, economists say.Motorists in the United States have not paid an average of $3 per gallon since 2014. As of Tuesday, drivers in California, Hawaii, Washington State, Nevada, Utah, Oregon, Alaska, Arizona, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and the District of Columbia were paying an average of more than $3 per gallon.California motorists are paying an eye-popping $3.88 per gallon - the highest rate in the country, according to the American Automobile Association.

Gas was cheap well before Covid, when the economy was roaring, all because of the sensible nationalism of Rightful President Trump. The liars know this, but most people are stubbornly dense and believe what they see in the news.

But....... Politifact claims Biden has nothing to do with the increase in gas prices, claiming it has nothing to do with him! What a crock!! Keystone Pipeline cancellation alone added 50 cents and green new deal malarkey will add $5.

When was the last time gas went for three bucks a gallon in the Bay Area? It must have been decades ago.

At about $1 more a gallon, you're likely paying about $100 more a month for gas. That's $1,200 a year.
So how are you liking your one-time $1,400 "stimulus" check? Somebody's getting stimulated but it's not your basic taxpaying citizen.

Bull!! These high prices are a result of Biden's putting his boot heel on the flow of oil and threats to end fracking to serve the delusional Left's "climate change" agenda. Quit blaming COVID!!

#6, hah, you must live in Crazyfornia. Out here in Free America, we were paying $1.59 for a long time during Trump's presidency.

The cost of everything is climbing. OSB now $32 a sheet, was $17 a year ago. Plywood $56 a sheet. Let the good times roll.

All that 'free' money Biden just sent out will soon return to the Government in gasoline taxes, along with other taxes. Sigh

That's the plan $3 by Memorial day, $4 by July 4th, and near $5 by Thanksgiving. And they'll tell you the increase is to save the planet or pay down the debt that the democrats have totally buried us with. Back in November oil was $49 dollars a barrel. Today it's $61 dollars and going up. Do you miss him yet?

Not enough in taxes coming in since no one goes to work any more? I was out and about yesterday and it looked like a Saturday, so many people out.

As Americans realize how badly they were swindled on Nov 3, is the real headline.

#22, sad for you guys. We have been at $1.59-$1.89 for the last four years, climbing to $2.59 since Traitor Joe took over in the coup.
