The people who don't care that food is getting unaffordable but freak out when gas goes up a few cents are always amusing.
It's really important when you drive an SUV the size of an M1 Abrams and it gets 10 miles to the gallon
Those tanks get gallons to the mile.
since the "extended preniums ended" the insurance jumped in cost several times for those on ACA.
Gas going up will also make food go up even more now due to added costs of shipping.
When your car refuses to work without food but you can, and you need your car to get to the place that gives you money to buy the car (and hopefully you) food … it happens.
Petrol monkeys need gas to live.
In the US, in most places, you need a car to get around because there is no reliable public transport
I am painfully well aware. But that doesn't happen in a vacuum.
