Are we going back to blaming Putin for high gas prices like when it was $5 per gallon? Gas prices have hit a brand new 8 month high thanks to Joe Biden and the communist Democrat war on American oil. Don’t worry though. Comrade Biden is going to force you to get rid of your water heater and gas powered stoves or something.
Prices at the pump in the US hit an eight-month high this week — boosted by the increased cost of crude oil as producers slash output.
According to roadside assistance company AAA, as of Friday, the average national gas price is $3.73 per gallon for regular gas — up 20 cents from last month’s average.
The more fuel-efficient premium gas, meanwhile, has surged to nearly $4.50 — also a 20-cent increase from June.
California’s average is the highest, at $4.95 per gallon of regular gas. In counties like Mono, for example, located just outside Yosemite National Park, the price per gallon has soared to an eye-watering $6.05, according to figures by AAA.
AAA spokesman Robert Sinclair cited OPEC+’s July 1 decision to slash crude oil production to 3.6 million barrels per day — “3.6% of total daily global production of 100 million barrels,” Sinclair said.
