Pain at the pump: Gas prices skyrocketing toward $4 per gallon

Gas prices creeping toward $4 per gallon on fifth straight week of gains
By Jeremy Beaman, Energy and Environment Reporter
January 31, 2023 03:00 AM

Gasoline prices are creeping back up and may soon average $4 per gallon, requiring drivers to start putting in more for fuel after having enjoyed falling prices for much of the second half of 2022.

The national average price of retail gasoline rose for the fifth straight week Sunday, according to data compiled by GasBuddy, with higher oil prices and lower refinery utilization being driving factors. The national average is up to $3.49 per gallon, a 33.3-cent rise from a month ago.

Oil has seen fairly consistent gains over the same period, and refineries have been operating at 86.1% of capacity or below since Winter Storm Elliot struck during the week of Christmas, according to the Energy Information Administration.

Well, Biden has run low on SPR to dump on the market and the midterms are over.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

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.

Yep.  Election is over.  Dems can go back to destroying the country again.  Fetterman can return to his anti-fracking position.  Manchin can stop pretending he gives a damn about the people of West Virginia.

I heard on the radio this morning that prices are up 9 cents a gallon. My local station was still $3.49 when I drove by, but I suspect they've raised the price since then.  **nononono*

In Mass, the high diesel/no-2-home-heating-oil prices are still 55% higher than the same time last year.
