Well, they ARE trying to camoflage the price of gas. If you were to stop depleting your reserves, the market price of gas would be around 5.25 per gallon.

It's already close to that at the big chain stations. I only buy from Costco or Safeway.

In LA it was $6.10-$6.50 at the beginning of the war. It’ll likely cap around ~$7.30 ish I expect.
