Closer to $5 at many places around Oahu.
On the neighbor islands it's gotta be way over $5 by now.

HNN reported Kaui gas prices at $4.98 and that's average.  I paid $4.58 last Wednesday at Hele.

Then there was the news about Iran purposely planning to dick around with Russia on the Iran Nuclear Deal just to keep gas prices high.

I guess that's their way of saying: LET'S GO BRANDON!!!!!

$5.09 for premium yesterday at Hilo Safeway. Using my Sam’s Club MC I get 5% cash back. I know it is going to hit $6 soon. I use about 25 gal of gas a month, so even if gas was $15 a gal, it wouldn’t justify me getting a EV or hybrid. The new car payment and increase in insurance would be double what I would pay for fuel at $15 a gallon.  Plus I really enjoy driving my 09 FX50.

Jen Psaki, who is probably bad in math, should have paid attention to some analysis of the impact of allowing oil projects to proceed or be halted.

Using the Supplementary Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) for the Keystone XL Pipeline from the US State Department, I (author) calculated that in the worst case, a completed Keystone XL could increase annual global carbon emissions by 0.07% by 2030.

Her boss threw a monkey wrench into the drilling and fracking process which has delayed the necessary resources from entering the U.S. oil markets. We cannot undo the supply loss that occurred. Had it not been a judge [James Cain] overruling the bans, we would have been in an even worse situation. Sadly, the battle is not over as the justice department seeks to contest Cain's decision.

Joe Biden, remember what Harry Truman said, "The buck stops here." I would add, the buck comes right out of my wallet to pay for your inane decisions. You owe me hundreds of dollars. Listen to the other Joe in the Democratic party. Realize that AOC never contributed a single btu or energy to the U.S., except for the oil from her skin pores.

See what I said in my post. For some, the math doesn't justify the purchase.

I think I rented one of those before.  If I recall correctly, it was SUPER smooth.  Like a towncar with more umph.
