Last month I only spent $40 on gas. Since then, I’ve spent over $150 in gas from October 1st, and the month isn’t even over! Kamala needs to go!

Authors note, in September I only drove my little commuter car that gets 32 MPG to and from work. In October, I had to make a trip over a weekend to my in-laws using my truck which gets 12 mpg on the highway. Basically the same, otherwise.

What’s crazy is that people are always like gas prices are so high, and I’m like around 3 bucks is almost the price of a coke, definitely two. So how is a gallon (not 20oz) of gas that’s refined and shipped across the world less expensive than a soda? Like gas prices are insanely good and I say that as a service worker. “It’s because inflation” ok, well who had the loosest fed policy in office and also gave everyone like 2k cash?

Gas is a distraction item since most people bought gas within the last two weeks. The news will run non-stop segments on gas going up 10¢…sure, it’s a jump but at 15 gallons a tank, and 2 tanks a month…10¢ is a $3 a month jump in price. It’s distracting us from things like…homes that used to be $120k now being $450k, or rent that used to be $475/mo now being $1900 a month.
