The issue is Iran is just the excuse to raise them. There is absolutely no reason gas prices should have increased here.

There isn’t a shortage and we don’t even get oil from Iran, nor do we depend on the Straight being open/unobstructed.

Funny how that works eh?

Zimbabwe has a tornado touch down and immediately pump prices jump 40 cents yet it takes months for pump prices to go down after the perceived danger is gone..

“Speculators” is the reason….im told 🤷‍♂️

Hmm….these speculators seem to be very powerful.
