With fuel now reportedly over $2.20 p/l for unleaded at number of service stations across the country, what strategies have you employed to either save on the cost of fuel or alternatives?

I've used the 7-11 app to lock in a lower fuel price to be redeemed in the next week. I'm now considering if the higher fuel prices become a more permanent fixture the economies of an electric car look more attractive..

The eastern states look to be close behind and rising rapidly.

    Trump specifically warned about this in the 2020 election debate and got laughed out of the room for it.

    he's been laughed out the room so many times… do you have a link to backup this specific one?

      Here's the epic speech he gave telling of NATO and other members of Euro parliament for their reliance on Russia. Aged like fine wine.

      Of course the elites who laughed him out of the room won't have to answer for their stupidity. Gas prices don't affect them. It affects the regular citizens who get duped by their bullshit.

        and how much oil was US importing from Russia at that time?
        was it 0?
        quickest one i could find was:
        https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=pet&s=m…

        2017 142,011 thousand barrels
        2018 137,010 thousand barrels
        2019 189,786 thousand barrels
        2020 197,720 thousand barrels

        want to do the maths on the billions of ironic $ that is?

          @SBOB: Russia is one of the biggest suppliers of oil all over the world. The alternative places to buy it from aren't much better. This is why Trump and other common sense leaders have rallied for energy independence, ie developing capabilities for the West to farm their own resources instead of sending money to war mongerers. This was done by providing subsidies to local producers.

          Unfortunately, destructive policies like Biden's fracking bans and the Paris Agreement are sending the West into a nose-dive of stupidity, making us completely reliant on our own enemies just to keep our lights on.

            @SlavOz: The US imports about 2% from Russia,it is hardly anything!

            seems they keep approving a huge number of oil and gas projects.. strange 'ban' disillusion you have there.
            Repeating a trump claim (Like when you make your own), doesnt make it a fact.

  Cathie wood said oil prices would be at $12 around now, she was wrong but at some point it will come crashing down.

  More people will take public transportation, shift over to EVs and there's always the great hope of hydrogen powered automobiles.

  I think this is the straw that will break the camels back.
