Are You Ready For $4 Gas Prices This Spring?

Are You Ready For $4 Gas Prices This Spring?

BY TYLER DURDEN

Americans could be paying as high as $4 per gallon at the pump this spring due to economic recovery and strong demand before relief arrives in the second half of 2022, according to an outlook from GasBuddy.

Patrick De Haan, GasBuddy head of petroleum analysis, said the national average could peak as high as $4.13 per gallon in June 2022.

“While Americans are likely to see higher prices in 2022, it’s a sign that the economy continues to recover from COVID-19,” De Haan said. “The higher prices go, the stronger the economy is. No one would love to see $4 per gallon gasoline, but we’ll only get there on the back of a very strong economy, so it’s not necessarily bad news.

“There remains higher uncertainty than in a non-COVID year, but all signs point to gas prices remaining elevated in 2022 until the high prices attract additional oil supply, which will help prices cool off as we end 2022,” he explained. 

GasBuddy’s forecast says San Francisco and other California metro areas could see the sharpest price increases at the pump. Prices could reach as much as $5.65 per gallon.

The prospect for soaring prices comes as President Biden’s cunning SPR-release plan to ease the pain in Americans’ pocketbooks has backfired. The average cost for gas over the past 20 years is $2.77, which means at $3.288, the president’s price for Americans is 18% above average…

The current US gas prices have never, ever been higher for this time of year… Seasonal trends suggest prices will increase through spring.

Kyle Bass was right when he said higher prices are coming despite Biden’s SPR release. He predicts prices at the pump could exceed $5.

Get ready for explosively higher oil. 7 years of dramatic underinvestment in hydrocarbons fueled by ignorance like this will inevitably generate $100+ crude oil and $5+ prices at the pump for years to come.We all would love to see an overnight transition to alternative energy 1/3 https://t.co/fwJkRZzgQs

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
