National average November 2020 was $2.10. It was about $3.50 just before Russia invaded Ukraine. It's up less than a dollar since then. Yeah, I understand we don't pay national average.
The majority of the fuel price increase in the USA, and inflation as a whole, occurred before Russia invaded Ukraine.
But the invasion makes a convenient scapegoat. I'm sure scrapping the oil pipelines and leases etc prior to and after the invasion had nothing to do with it.
If "evil petroleum companies" were to blame for the rise in prices, why is the current administration selling our national reserves on the open market at a loss, to the tune of 1 million barrels per day, where much of it gets exported, driving the price up further?
