I remember 6 to 8 years ago when gas went under $1; I took a picture of my receipt!

I use public transportation. It won't affect me.

Because i see no good reason that the price of oil will raise another 50% in the forseable future.

It's the worldwide conspiracy to (re)elect Donald Trump. As everyone knows, when gas prices go up, it is Biden's fault; when they go down, it's due to Republican leadership.

By the time inflation pushes normal gas pricing to ten bucks a gallon, electric cars will be the majority of vehicles in America. Barring international events or other supply interruption, I agree with Deesse.

Well, it could affect you if the transport you use is forced to raise prices due to the running cost of fuel.

I already don't own a car. So I would continue not owning a car.

It’s one of those own goal kind of things, is the thinking. The price doesn’t actually go up or down based on supply, and oil producers run the risk of driving themselves out of business faster if they exploit the consumer…. too much.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Pretty much. Company car, company gas card. All paid for. Would impact our vacations….but if gas were 10 a gallon I imagine vacation rentals would be out of our reach then anyway.
