People shouldn't be surprised that gasoline prices have risen for various reasons. It will continue to climb and will not return to previous pricing. The costs of fossil fuel travel have to rise, one or way or another, to meet the costs of electric to coerce people to make a change. If gas remains the lower priced option many people won't do it. Those who can't afford it will have to travel less and/or use public transportation. This is what the War on Fossil looks like. After all, it was a Biden campaign promise.
