Went up again. Now $4.40 which is the highest it’s been in quite a while.

$3.89 here. It's absurd.
And still no strategy to give relief.

The least expensive regular in our Zip Code is $5.46.

Since you are recognizing it as a politically-related discussion, should it be moved to the political forum?
Over $5 bucks again for plus.

Ugh. That’s terrible.
A couple places by me have stopped posting prices so boldly. You have to pull in to see the prices on the pumps.
Unchanged from my previous post in this topic.
I guess that counts as good news.

91 octane = ~$6.00 /gal
Still $4.19 at my work-neighborhood over at my 3rd shift job.
But $4.40 in my neighborhood.

You lucky lot. If you think 4 bucks a gallon is bad, try $4NZD ($2.40USD) per litre (roughly 1/4 gallon) - that’s roughly $10/gal equivalent in USD. And then pay the same for diesel in commercial transport quantities. Our entire country depends on solely imported diesel, we have no redundancy worth mentioning.
And that’s without counting on the fuel stations running out, which they have been regularly…. No matter what the news says isn’t happening, there have been quite a few times when I’ve had to stretch to the next station to fill my truck because the first one I called on was empty.
This is a circus, and it’s hurting billions of people.

Went up from $4.19 per gallon to $4.49 now.
Put in $25.oo worth into the tank. That translates into roughly 2 gallons less.

Far be it from me to come the voice of reason, but consider pushing your car 20 miles for five bucks.
YMMV.
