BTW, according to google the average price of a pack of smokes in the U.S. is $8.00.

Charge them with treason and a firing squad to carry out guilty verdicts.

What a dumb comment. If you've been following Actors posts at all these past few years you'd know he's living on a VERY fixed income. $4.20 is enough to buy a supper for a single man without much money, so, yeah, it may not be a big deal to YOU but it might well be to him!

He's trolling US.

Be happy, ours is still over $5.00/gallon.

Competing for the White House Press Secretary position?

So am I.
Not dumb just putting things in perspective.

He turned a simple question about the price being raised to something political. when most likely it wasn't.

Still paying $4.29 in my area.

Take a look here.
Looks like you ought to be blaming Exxon.

ExxonMobil's bellwether status in the energy space, optimal integrated capital structure that has historically produced industry-leading returns and management's track record of capex discipline across the commodity price cycle make it a relatively lower-risk energy sector play. The company owns some of the most prolific upstream assets globally. Other aspects of the company's story include the largest global refining operations, substantial chemicals assets and a dividend history and cre

Nobody I know is happy about paying an extra $4.20 for 10 gallons of gas.

Not even AKAjust is I bet, he's just trying to deflect the cause from Biden.

When the Pres. says he will end fossil fuels and the price goes up how can it not be political.

And then going back up[b][/b]

lots of special kind of stupid folks around....

Few quick questions for you:

What were their losses in 2020.when the gov shut the country down?
What is their profit per gallon, at the pump?
What does the gov, both state and Federal, take per gallon at the pump?
Who.does all.the work, exploration, extraction, refinement, transport, etc, and takes all the risks?
What is Exxon's profit margin?
What is McDonald's?

Looks like a well managed company to me.

Partly true.
If I felt Biden was at fault you can sure bet I'd be agreeing with you guys.
War in Ukrain is mostly at fault.
Russia is the culpret there.
We have not trusted them to for 80 years. And for good reasons.
Believe it or not Teddy Roosevelt is at fault too.
During his presidency he established the national park system. To protect our beautiful wilderness from those who would destroy it for financial gain.
But mostly big buisness. Oil companies.
As shown above their profits are up 59%. which is 56% above the year before.
Before blaming someone take a look at the real picture.
