Just paid $4.75 in NE Fl, when it hits $5.00 that will be the point for me.

You ain't kidding, I couldn't afford fishing for that price. That would be over a thousand dollar fill up. Ouch

My motorcycle was stolen last September and I didn’t replace it. But the high gas prices have me looking for another one. That and a kayak for fishing as well

Many people have no appreciation of just how cheap sub $2 diesel was and what ramifications that has on the economy.
If you think filling your car up sucks, imagine filling up a 125' line haul tug, or a fleet of OTR trucks, or a huge fleet of local delivery trucks.
If the fuel prices only affected what individuals put in their personal vehicles it would be bad enough, but our economy moves on diesel. Price of delivered goods is where the pain is REALLY felt.

Gas prices affect all the rest of your budget, not just filling your tank weekly.

Energy is the foundation of our economy. High energy prices reverberate throughout the entire economy in the form of higher prices and reduced growth. What's particularly frustrating about the current prices is that it's largely self inflicted by the current government.
ETA: I ride a bicycle or walk to work every day, so it's not hitting me as hard as others. If I go to leave, I do think about whether it's necessary and see if I can keep gas costs down.

I saw $4.95 near the airport in Orlando yesterday and it’s $4.49 where I live in Alabama. I won’t be fishing as much and when I do my trips will be shorter. Hard to justify spending that type of money just to fill a boat up.

Angry at high prices, wants to raise prices even higher.
This is how Democrats think.

We are altering our behavior and travel plans already.

I paid over $5. First time in my life.
The war on fossil fuels at the same time as a pandemic is a stupid idea. Commies don't care about high prices though, they require them.

Consider yourself lucky. I haven't paid $4 or less in over a month now. It's staying around $4.39-$4.59 in my area.

The drama. I'm so tired of drama queens and their misunderstanding of "democracy."
Do they still require civics to be taught?

I kind of hope Progs get the things they desire. Nothing creates libertarians or conservatives more than overbearing government.
Until they feel the pain, they'll continue doing really dumb stuff.

Yeah, but you should have had 2 oil changes since then though

The price of fuel impacts EVERYTHING you buy, you dumbass.
