Gas prices soar past $4 on average for gallon of regular, the highest in US since 2022
Here locally, gas yesterday was $2.97, which is down two cents from the day before and down thirty cents from a recent peak.
But, hey, your reality is formed only by the television news or Internet, by all means panic.
Highest since 2022, when it was that high without a war going on. And “average national” includes gas prices from states with far higher tax burdens and other considerations, so maybe everyone should just leave their houses once in a while (he says, but only superiorly because he’s going to take a break from doom scrolling and do the tour which takes him to locations in Republic and Nixa and a nice country drive with the windows down, maybe, this morning).
The around here is $4.19
It’s back to $3.29 around here now.
Needless to say, my wages have not kept up.
