What did you 21 to 30 years old expect when you wanted minimum wage to got to $14.99. The cost of everything will go up. None of you people thought of that. Just saw Dollar sign
Nobody seemed to want to talk about fuel consumption during the 20 year tribute to John Wayne in the middle east..
People are going to get so desperate and start watering down their gas to make it last.
Drive your car half way to work and bike the rest … and bike it back to your parked car (I cant stop laughing im in tears)
We need Trump!
It could be worse … We could all be Hummer owners 😂 … $500 gets them down the block 😂
Oil companies are happy.
People are going to start wearing "Heeley's" to work and do errands.
Boycott all gas stations and penalize oil corporations NOW
6 week trip with kids. I can't even afford a weekend trip to grandmas by myself.
Joe Biden does not care about the American people.
If you can afford to take a 6week trip, fuel prices will not be your concern
I have to laugh every time they mention a strong economy
Joe Biden does not care about the American people
White greed is the problem shut up
Yay Biden voters! You guys are so smart!
Love how biden can send 40 billion dollars to Ukraine but can't help his own people.
Thank Trump!
Whatever it takes to help Ukraine
government crooks At it again
Gas is above 5 a gallon and this a “strong economy ??”
So 2.50 and below is weak?
Please tell me how !
I rather spend $80 on the road than paying $200 per airline ticket. Use your brain, America?
I was working in memories driving trucks and had to commute from Oxford Mississippi everyday. Last summer wen I started it took 130 a week on gas for a camaro now it’s 300 a week so yea This is getting very outrageous
