News stated the gas is the highest it's been in 7 years. Not claiming anything here, but-the same party was in office then as now.

Oil prices have nothing to do with politics today or yesterday.... world market and the Virus are pretty much to blame along with OPEC.

Sure does, when closing down pipelines and oil field areas it sure does effect price. YES these have been recent political decisions.

Gas prices should stabilize post Covid. I paid less in 2020, paying more in 2021, averages out. Personally I have been RVing since 02 when 87 test was .95 per gallon, up to $4.50 per gallon in 2006. I have a Class C getting 8 mpg, people ask me all the time the fuel economy, not sure why. I tell them tent camping is also fun less fuel. :)

On average, it costs about $5 per barrel to transport oil and gas by pipeline compared to $10-$15 a barrel for rail and $20 a barrel by truck
890,000 Barrels of oil are now being transported by rail or trucks DAILY that was transported by pipeline last year.

Higher transportation costs because of increased fuel costs? :B

This is all changing quickly. The pipeline is now up and running. The problem now is getting it out to the stations by truck. Here in Florida, we getting our fuels via barges and pipeline from LA area, but are still affected by the hoarding like the toilet paper surge. I think the fact that the company paid off the Russian hackers is just an open invitation to do it again. By the way, have you gotten your extended warranty?
