People want more and don't (yet) care what the price is. Who has not done something they wanted to do, especially after the pandemic, because gas is up? I don't know anyone. Lots of my neighbors are cruising in their RVs out to Colorado or where ever. They grumble, but it does not stop them. Of course the poor, the most powerless, will/are suffering but no one cares about them.

Are you talking about oil or gas? That being natural gas vs gasoline. I see where the US exports more Gasoline now than before. If we are exporting more gasolene , that would seem to suggest that the industry comments that we do not have capacity may be exaggerated. Since exports are somewhat controlled by the government, why wouldn't the administration simply not approve the export, thus making more gasoline available in the USA? That would increase the supply side of the equation.
