Gas prices hit $4 a gallon for the first time since 2008, approach record high

By

Biden’s handlers aren’t stupid. They want this. They ended the energy independence the U.S. had achieved under Trump. Apparently the game is to make it so expensive to drive a car that Americans will be forced to seek alternative means of transportation. This will cause immense societal disruption. Biden’s handlers likely don’t mind that at all, as they can use protests to further their “insurrection” narrative and crack down on dissent in extraconstitutional ways.

“Average Gas Prices Hit $4 Per Gallon For First Time In Over Decade, Approach Record High,” by Ryan Saavedra, Daily Wire, March 6, 2022:

The national average price for gas has jumped to $4 per gallon for the first time since 2008 as prices continue to worsen during Democrat President Joe Biden’s administration.

“As of Sunday afternoon, the national average of a regular gallon of gas was $4.009, according to AAA,” USA Today reported. “That’s up 8 cents from Saturday and up 40 cents from last week. The U.S. hit the $4 national average a day earlier than analysts expected.”

Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at fuel-savings app GasBuddy, said in a tweet on Sunday that gas prices were approaching an all-time high.

“We are currently at a 7 day rise in #gasprices of 43.7c/gal,” he tweeted. “If we surpass 49.0c/gal ago, we will be at the highest ever 7 day rise in average price.”…

  1. Elections have consequences. Rigged elections have dire consequences.

    • Premium is no over $8.00 a gallon here in Finland and i am sure that is pretty much to same in most of EU.
      Prices in USA have historically been low which is why they drive so much there, and walk as little as possible

  2. In his latest article in Frontpagemag Daniel Green argues Biden is bluffing,he has NO intention of going to war with Russia.

    I hope his opinion is true,in:

    “The Left Isn’t Letting the Ukraine Crisis Go to Waste”

    He states:

    “The Russians and the Ukranians do the actual fighting while the Biden administration sits back and exploits it.

    Whatever happens, Biden is safe because NO American soldiers will be killed in the fighting.”

    AND :

    “After running through the FARCE of looking for oil in Iran and Venezuela, and any other terror state that has any for sale,

    the Biden administration will DOUBLE DOWN on GREEN ENERGY. We will be told that the Ukraine crisis is more evidence that we need to invest all our money into windmills and solar panels. “

  3. Yeah, just filled up my car after several weeks, and regular was $3.99. Total that it cost me was above $40: my typical fills (which I do every 100 miles) is b/w $15-22

    Fertilizer too is going up, since we’ve just cut off Russia, our #1 supplier (who would have thought?!), so don’t be surprised to see food up as well!

    • Even Netflix wants more money now. Did they owe some money on Russian films? Claims it’s so they can provide better service.

      What a world. The gas pump talks to me. My computer wants to talk. That thing in the living room talks too much. How long before they tell us how our boys are doing in the war between Oceania and Eastasia while the image of Big Brother shines out with approbation? Then we can hear BB tell us, lovingly, that “no sacrifice of ours can be too great. Buy an EV.” Then off-camera we hear, “let’s take a break and raid your freezer, Nancy.”

      Ahh, sacrifice, can’t get enough.

  4. More people will be trying to ride buses to work and shop and, in some places, there are no buses.

    More people will be out walking to get necessities, and carrying their little kids along, no matter the weather. I have seen this already with many poor in the community unable to afford to drive. Little kids out in rain and cold while their parents shop and then all walk back home.

    We won’t hear this on the “news” though, as they are all working for those making it happen and it’s bad news. We are just told that gas prices will keep rising over the rest of the year…and when many try to go on vacation by car during the summer…beyond their ability to pay and still buy groceries, their electric bills, and those other things that biden and his henchpeople can’t be bothered to consider. Or, they do consider, and they rub their hands together, as pelosi did during the sotu part where biden spoke about the dead military.

    It’s all part of “bo’s” plan to “fundamentally change the U.S.” That includes a lot of dead…from all causes.

  6. High prices for fuel and the gas station. Furthermore, the price for gas will still grow higher. Things will get worse – “thanks” to Biden.

    All because of that awful Biden with his socialist economics, he is a disaster for both America and the American people.

  7. The sharp rise in the price of gas is the result of Joe Biden with his continue interference in the business of free enterprise because of his socialism which, especially for Biden is his Federal government meddling in capitalism is an economic disaster.

    Where are all the people who rightly recognize the sold, firm economic precepts of Adam Smith with his great and grand book THE WEALTH OF NATIONS in America when this country needs them so much ?
    Nevertheless, the villainy of Joe Biden has no limits, as seen in many American workers losing their much need jobs seen in the oil pipeline business.

    High prices for fuel and the gas station and at the grocery store, the supermarket empty shelves are becoming more and empty. Likewise, prices are growing higher. Things will get worse.

    All because of that awful Biden with his socialist economics, he is a disaster for both America and the American people.

    Joe Biden is mindlessly or viciously continuing the same old flawed socialist policies of former boss, Obama, maybe Obama is still Biden’s real boss ?

    Nevertheless the harm done to the United States economy as seen by all the Americans who have lose the jobs because of Biden is awful.

    Furthermore, the high prices for fuel and the gas station and at the grocery store, the supermarket empty shelves are becoming more and empty. Likewise, prices are growing higher. Things will get worse.

    All because of that Joe Biden with his socialist economics along with the power elate who hold him up. – Damn them.

  8. McDonald’s just walked away from Russia, leaving everything there like Biden’s Afghanistan exit.

    It was staffed by – Russians!, who cooked food produced in – Russia!, who know how to operate a fast food restaurant in – Russia! Who are now operating those restaurants in – Russia!

    Imagine the gratitude felt by the former indebted franchisees who will never send a dime to McDonald’s. Wow, an instant chain of restaurants. Wonder what the new name will be?

    Way to show Putin, McDonalds. Truly Biden-esk.

    • Yeah, the stupidest move. McD’s thinks that Russians are so stupid that:

      ‣ They can’t figure out how to carve out chicken/beef/pork into those round patty shapes
      ‣ They can’t figure out how to make buns
      ‣ They can’t figure out how to slice cheese
      ‣ They can’t figure out how to slice bacon
      ‣ They can’t figure out how to slice tomatoes/lettuce/other vegs
      ‣ They can’t figure out how to stack them together

      Essentially, all that McD did was yank the franchising rights from all those Russians. There is nothing stopping those Russians from either creating a new Russian brand franchise, like you suggested, or just every store becoming a standalone mom & pop eatery.

      While on this, there’s also Apple Pay and Paypal pulling out of there. All it does it make it more inconvenient: it’s not like Apple was paying every user a cut of what s/he was spending. All it did was make it more inconvenient for a Russian to spend his/her own money on something. And there’s little that prevents the creation of a NFC based local payment system in Russia: it’s a public spec that anyone can use to create something, like Apple Pay or Google Pay. All Apple has done is ensure that they cease to be a standard in Russia even when things one day return to normal. After all, if you were doing business w/ somebody who suddenly decided to terminate business relations w/ you, would you ever re-engage w/ that business? Why would Russians be any different?

      • Why indeed, Infidel.

        This reminds one of grade school where the instructor punishes the entire class until someone rats on the errant student. It rarely worked in the classroom or any where else, like say, Cuba, Iran, etc.

        • Yeah, in school (in India), I used to have a couple of teachers like that. Although they usually did that as collective punishment. Sometimes, I wish they could be put head on w/ our woke crowds ?

      • McDonalds is actally a big selling point with many. No one said that Russians do not know how to make meat patties.

  9. Why not just learn from EU countries that have a good public transportation infrastructure. No need to reinvent the wheel. Study Germany, Denmark, Sweden, and so on.

    Germany (and other EU countries) has excellent public Train, Bus and Tram transportation infrastructure. They are all connected with fitting timetables. Buses and trains are run by gas, electricity, battery storage, fuel cells, hydrogen. Some of these transportation vehicles are hybrids, others are being tested with fuel cells or energy storing super-capacitors. Energy sources can be wind, solar, Dams, Geothermal, Nuclear power plants not yet shut down.

    For cities, the super-saver would be bicycles. Make it a law that roads must have bicycle lanes on both sides of the road. Then bicycle traffic flows in the same direction as car traffic. Bicycle and car traffic won’t mix. If you visit Copenhagen, Denmark, spend some weeks and bicycle around the city, follow the bicycle rules, and you’ll see what I mean. Its good for your health and heart. For Urban cities, the example of Denmark is a winner and can be copied directly.

    Don’t follow the Swedish way of bicycle infrastructure as that is a dangerous system where bicycle lanes appear and appear out of nowhere and usually only on one side of the road and 2-way lane. It is dangerous.

    Urban bicycling in Germany is not so good. Usually only for sports or in the park. Its Porsche country.

    Prag and Germany have great Tram systems.

    (Sidenote: San Francisco has the Bart, Portland, Oregon has a good city bus system.)

    • Lots of good ideas, Hank.

      But…

      The problem in large US Democrat run cities is that using public transportation (other than medallion taxis) is currently too dangerous (homeless with untreated mental health issues, violent thugs, drug addicts, etc.).

    • Hank, I do actually take public transit, walk, and use Uber/Lyft. But the idea that high gas prices only affect those who drive is mistaken. I don’t drive, but this is also driving up food prices.

      This is going to affect Europe, as well.

  10. I wonder what kind of trade-in my 2020 BMW will bring on a new electric scooter. Than again it might make a great yard ornament parked next to my 3/4 ton pickup swimming pool. I wonder what they will do with all the dealerships, maybe housing for the unemployed oil workers and auto dealers/manufactures. Invest in bicycles, horses, and comfortable shoes. But hey the young want to go GREEN, funny the world was green and mans life expectancy was mid 30’s. Oil and coal fueled the modern world, we are a long way from solar or wind picking up the energy demands of modern man.

  11. I was putting diesel into my car this afternoon when I noticed the guy on pump 4 put in £10 …£10!? Where was he going, pump 5!?

    • I know you are being funny, but actually, when gasoline is more expensive, I tend to refuel more frequently, not less. Reason is that the first half of the tank lasts twice the distance of the latter half, due to the amount of fuel/air mix in the tank. So when it’s really expensive, I refuel when it’s just 25% used, so that over time, I end up spending less per miles

      That may well be what this person was doing

      • I fill up when my tank has used a quarter or less. When buying it, I found that the needle was…at times…off, so it would tell me I needed fuel when I didn’t and other times I did. And I have never liked the idea of running out…living in hurricane country helps teach one not to allow for that.
        I get the same per gallon milage I did when I first bought it, too. And when I only spend a few dollars each time, it seems like less than if I have to fill up and it’s a big number. Esp now will that be the case.
