The national average price for a gallon of regular unleaded has reached an all time record of $4.37. The gas station closest to my home is selling at a $4.45/gallon price and other nearby stations have already reached $4.59/gallon. Meanwhile, the brain trust in the White House is draining the nation's strategic petroleum reserves and is dirtying our air by suspending the requirement for cars to burn gas mixtures that reduce smog in the summer.
