There are few signs that average gas prices have jumped significantly in Florida as the hurricane began to approach. AAA put the statewide average at just under $3.40 a gallon, six-tenths of a cent higher than a week ago.
A 99-day run of falling pump prices nationally ended recently, and the 14-week decline was the longest streak since 2015. The nationwide average price had risen past $5 a gallon — and $6 in California — in June as the economic recovery and an increase in travel boosted demand for gasoline and Russia’s war in Ukraine caused a spike in oil prices.
Gasoline prices mostly reflect trends in global oil prices, and crude — both the U.S. benchmark and the international Brent — has been slumping since mid-June on growing fears of a global recession that would reduce demand for energy. Many energy analysts believe prices are more likely to rise than fall in the next few months. But changes in sentiment about the economy, Russia’s war against Ukraine, and even hurricane season — always a threat to disrupt refineries along the Gulf Coast — make predictions uncertain.
The hurricane intensified as it neared landfall, gaining top winds of 155 mph , just shy of the most dangerous Category 5 status. Damaging winds and rain lashed Florida, and forecasters said the heavily populated Fort Myers area could be inundated by a storm surge of up to 18 feet Associated Press writer Darlene Superville contributed to this report.
We are literally poor now! Thanks! You took back prices then raised them slowly back. All of us except for the 1 percenters. It isn’t fair that they are jumping through lope holes while the rest of us suffer! I voted for you btw! Can’t live like this

What's he gonna do if they raise prices?
On what authority? If they do, what will Biden do? Nothing…

I know we all probably might have heard about Bitcoin but don't know how it works, I tried it in a week ago by a man who recommended me to Derrick_wright3 on Twitter he guides me through and i made a return of $10500 after a week of trading, connect with him
He’s drinking peas thru a straw, not warning anybody!
Doesn’t supply and demand influence the price? Demand is high dwindling the supply … it is a capitalist country still isn’t it no matter what potus “threatens” to do unless there are oil reserves again to tap into 😆
