$0.35 in three days in the Northeast.

Not that I *really* care as it keeps people (idiot drivers) off the roads here.

Covid has actually been a dream come true as the congestion is NIL compared to normal.

I used to be involved with the "green" field.

I wonder why they seem not to care about China and India based on human rights and environment.

Yeah its a shame fascism didn't take hold last week so that you can save $0.35 per gallon.

AGAIN!?!? They are not even paving the roads when there is light traffic due to Covid.

This would the 3rd time???, and they can do it at-will now, forever based on how it was written.

These fools don't realize that:
1. They lose NY commuters
2. They lose PA commuters.
3. They lose all interstate travelers that stopped in the cheap states along I-95.
Florida, South Carolina, Virginia, New Jersey used to be THE states to stop in for cheap gas.

Tax hikes on millionaires and gas gave N.J. budget an infusion of cash in November

Millionaires and gas tax help lift NJ state revenues

Just like the lottery was supposed to fund education... Where is all the money going?
Why are politicians still getting paid as they keep everything closed?

I don't wish away my life, But I cannot wait to leave this area.

I swear, here about 25 mins north of Pittsburgh, PA, I was paying $2.35ish/gallon just a couple weeks ago. Now I'm paying $2.60-$2.75.

It's been WELL publicize (in person) to stop fracking (New Green Deal

) which allowed the US to not only STOP importing oil but to Export it now.

You guys are right. Gas prices will likely rise in the coming years.
That's what happens when the economy recovers.

Or supply is limited via governmental mandates. New restrictions will curtail exploration, limiting supply, and raising crude prices... this increasing gas/ diesel prices (which will probably also see new taxes added to help support "green energy").

Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining... because for me, my family, my community, my industry, and those companies that support it, an increase to $80-100/bbl would be a God send. I (and many like me) would prefer oil stay about $75-80/bbl, because that means jobs, raises, and bonuses.
