Gas just hit $4.39 a gallon nationally. Up 27 cents in one week. Up 9 cents since Thursday alone. This isn't seasonal pricing. This is what happens when 20% of the world's oil supply gets choked off in the Strait of Hormuz for two months straight. Brent crude is above $126 a barrel. Trump says the blockade could last "months." Iran is taunting "$140 next." The last time the national average was this high was August 2022. We're on pace to blow past it. Every American is paying a war tax at the pump right now. image

Yeah, but at least because of our energy independence we essentially pay it to ourselves. I'm sure US oil companies are kicking ass. Imagine how grim it would be to be European right now ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

20 percent of oil is choked and costs double for a barrel of oil. Something is not quite adding up.
