The reasons for the price spike are textbook supply and demand from an economics textbook: Americans have gotten back to driving more this summer as the pandemic has moderated, and a combination of domestic supply interruptions and trouble in energy markets overseas have made crude oil more expensive. In MN the price is $3.34 a gallon, in Jefferson County, it was almost $4. The difference of course is the taxes in WA on fuel is much higher. Happens in all states.

Put together surging demand from the US reopening with supply crunches both domestic and global, and it should be no surprise that gas prices are spiking.

I remember gas being rationed in the 1970s when Nixon was in office. Odd/Even days.

High Prices for gas, commodities, it isn't the first time it's happened in the U.S.
