According to AAA, "the national average for a gallon of regular gasoline has increased by 11 cents to $4.97."
“People are still fueling up, despite these high prices,” said Andrew Gross, AAA spokesperson. "
..."financial records showing ."28 of the largest producers made close to $100bn in combined profits in just the first three months of 2022
"Shell made $9.1bn in profit from January to March, almost three times what it made in the same period last year, while Exxon raked in $8.8bn, also a near threefold increase on 2021."
"Chevron upped its profits to $6.5bn and BP reveled in its highest first-quarter profits in a decade, making $6.2bn. Coterra Energy, a Texas-based firm, had the largest relative windfall of the 28 companies, with a 449% increase in profits on last year, to $818m."
Surely it's Joe Biden's fault.
