$5 a gallon for gas in U.S. Prices at the pump reach new high for nationwide average, AAA says

[onthedarkside]

 

On Saturday, the AAA reported the $5 nationwide average – which comes amid a surge in fuel costs, with record-breaking prices over the past few months.

 

The national average gas price jumped 19 cents in the past week. And prices at the pump are up $1.93 from this time last year.

 

Saturday marked the first time the U.S. reached a $5 average for nationwide gas prices – but it's not highest record when inflation is taken into account. In July 2008, gas prices peaked at $4.11 a gallon, which would be equal to about $5.40 a gallon today.

So that is $1.32 a litre?

Equivalent to £1.09

We are paying £1.80 a litre

 Prices are causing people to face a regality regardless of inflation factors . Reality is,

It was  generally 50 percent lower before the left took over! Cause the stat only covers through 2021, its off the charts now, highest ever in the USA!

 

Hopefully there will be change at the pumps after the midterm elections in November or second best the change in ruling class will stop this insanity.

Apparently, the left has taken just about the whole world since gasoline prices have risen worldwide. Just consider the case of the UK and that Marxist-Leninist Boris Johnson.
