Here's a clip from https://www.autoblog.com/2022/02/11/gas-prices-lower-than-you-think/
The U.S. basically exports nearly the same amount of petroleum products that it imports – about $130 billion in each direction, according to census.gov. So why don’t we keep more of our domestically produced petroleum to make things easier on our citizenry? Because the government has no control over that. Oil companies sell to (and buy from) whichever buyer maximizes their profits, regardless of nationality.
So there's a shortage overseas, and they are paying our oil companies more for it...
...which makes a shortage here, and we pay more for it.
It's not politics, its greed.
So go wax the jeep and rain-x the windshield to cut down on wind resistance, air up the tires, drive like grandma, and take all the junk outta the trunk to lighten it up, and save gas.
If that doesn't work, find that road your parents took to school, the one that's uphill in both directions, and drive the opposite way!
