Of course there are varied Geo-political reasons why so high

in varied places. Many of those places it's been high for years. In the United States the ONLY reason gas is over $2 a gallon is the abandonment and purpose reversal of policies put in place by the Trump administration. The stopping of domestic oil production and refinement, period. It has nothing to do with Russia or Ukraine as the White House has tried to sell. They in fact are trying to punish Americans for using fossil fuels and trying to sell the idea of electric cars that run on pixie dust. We must be forced off fossil fuel use since we are not inclined on our own. Don't forget they wanted to tax your cows that farted too much. Luckily they are so far unawares that horsed fart too, and are cheap transportation. I'm not sure there is not a WORLDWIDE plan to control nations through fossil fuel costs and regulation. We are just now an active part of that plan.

Also there are a bunch of local and state taxes added to what you pay at the pump that you do not see. That's why it's $2 a gallon in most Calif. places.

In AR anyway you can buy "farm fuel" that is devoid or tax exempt. However they put a red dye in it to identify. It also stains the intake of your engine you use the farm fuel in. It's not to be used for road use vehicles. The fine for getting caught is upward of $10k. I read an account where the DOT was harassing Cowboys at local rodeos, spot checks all of a sudden for illegal use of farm diesel with the late increases in fuel costs.
