$3.71 in my state. Keep in mind average US prices include California, Hawaii, Washington, (all over $5) and Oregon and Nevada, both nearing $5.

Environmental regulations and taxes in the west coast states drive prices much higher than other states, skewing the average higher. Prices are as low as $3.55 in Kansas.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

We are still around 3.55 here.   I'm sorry for all the poor blue state people held hostage.

It flew back to $4.20 here, seemingly overnight.

To find higher gas prices, you'd have to go all the way back to the Biden regime.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

Nobody's really complaining...simply making note of the sudden shifts, depending on the news cycle regarding Iran.
