It's a difference of, like, $15-20 per month, though. It's annoying, but certainly not worth getting outraged over.

Boomers love to bitch about gas prices. They don't care about finding alternative energy for the rest of us for after they croak; they just want low gas prices in the short term.

Most people in are country have less than 2K in liquid savings. A couple extra bucks a month that they can't really cut back on pushes them even closer to the already too close edge of insolvency.

Every $1 rise in gas prices is probably around a $1K hit to the disposable income of a normal median family. On a median household income of $60K you are talking 2% of post tax income and probably 3% of post tax, post housing income.

Given a $2 increase since Biden took office you’ve taken away 6% of purchasing power before even considering inflation
