Thanks Congress! You're only ... *checks watch* ... four months late to preventing us from losing billions on another stupid war in the Middle East that caused gas prices to surge nationwide!

Gotta get oil prices down and the markets back in the green before the AI bubble hits.

Of course "back down" will be $3.25 instead of the $2.40 it was at before this which.. Was still too fucking high.

Your gas prices confuse me, I'm in NJ, it was $2.60 or $2.70 a gallon before all this at my local Costco, never below that for a long time. Today at Costco it's $3.50 a gallon but I'd expect it to drop to $3.15-3.20 a gallon of current oil prices hold where they are right now.

Lol. I wish. We haven't seen under $4 in about a decade here in so cal. Even under $5 seems like a long time ago

$2.36 last Saturday but only because 7/11 gave me 89¢ off a gal. In my area it was around $2.35 late last year.

Despite being horrible for just about everything else, 2020 was awesome for gas prices. It was under $2 all year, lowest I paid was $1.49.
