This is just the beginning, now they will impose an embargo against Russia because of the war with corrupt Ukraine and we will pay $10 per gallon. Lets Go Brandon

Wait 'til Brandon takes away Big Oil subsidies---you'll be paying European prices.

Suck it up, buttercups.

There's something to be said for remaining blissfully ignorant of politics.

Delaware Premium $4.99. It looks like Brandon really wants to solve his political problems with Russia at our expense, I wonder how much gas will cost tomorrow. It's ingenious to get rid of Putin's oil first, and then look for a replacement for it.

If you kept up with actual negotiations "Brandon" has already had with other countries instead of following fake news, you'd know OPEC refused to increase production many months ago, and "Brandon" told you there would be pain coming. You want cheap gas, move to Saudi Arabia. Suck it up, Buttercups.

If you closely followed prices, you would understand that over the past two weeks, gasoline has risen in price by 25% not because of OPEC, but because of sanctions against Putin. It is obvious that Brandon's administration will never admit that its a mistake and will blame Putin for everything.

$6.29 in Berkeley CA for 91. My next Fill up likely will be around $95...Not used to people talking politics in my neck of the woods likely because it's pre-dominantly immigrant here so had no idea of who Brandon was

Really wish it were warm around here right now. I'd invest in a bicycle and bike to work each day... Gives me another reason to finish my Cafe racer.
