12 years ago, I had a diesel car that got 52 mpg and I paid less than you did. IMO, hybrids are rather useless because you only get 20-30 miles on electric power so why have a hybrid?
During the pandemic, we had a glut of gas, everybody was home bound. Nobody traveled for vacations, work, no fishing, waterskiing, no airline flights. So if we had a high demand for gas during the pandemic, where did it come from? During the pandemic, cruise ships were shutdown, airlines were hurting, and it took over 2 years for these institutions to get back on their feet. I’ll bet 1/2 the employees of this country are still telecommuting so the demand is still weaker than before the pandemic.

I don't think you read my post through. There wasn't a demand for gasoline during the pandemic. The demand came AFTER the pandemic, when people hit the road after being cooped up. Goods were in production and needed to be transported. Covid stifled demand for gas, causing production to collapse, and companies had to ramp up again. Yet OPEC said it would no boost oil production, hence higher prices.
Actually Forbes has a conservative rating on economic issues, but is rated "lean left" on social issues such as abortion and LBGTQ. And we were talking about economic issues here. But you used my favorite word: "woke" which means awakened to the needs of others, well informed, thoughtful, compassionate, kind, wanting to make the world a better place for ALL people. Proud to be woke.
