Gas prices have climbed since Biden took office after he canceled the Keystone XL pipeline and suspended new oil and gas activity on federal lands. Biden abandoned President Trump’s energy independence policy that kept oil prices down.
We all better buckle up too because it’s about to get even worse.
Prices are about to increase.

Don’t worry though, 7-Eleven is installing EV charging stations for all of us that can afford almost $100,000 electric cars (sarcasm). Oh, and the price of those fancy Tesla cars just went up too because of “supply chain” issues, it’s the fifth price increase in just a few months (#Bidenflation).
Moving lumbar was removed only in front passenger seat of 3/Y (obv not there in rear seats). Logs showed almost no usage. Not worth cost/mass for everyone when almost never used.
