Ouch. I just filled up my creaking 2010 Camry for $4.54 a gallon at an Arco in Orange. The 14.89 gallons came to $67.60.
I keep track of my gas expenses on an Excel spreadsheet. Looking back to January 2021, a week before Joe Biden was inaugurated as president, I paid $2.84 a gallon at the same station for 15.54 gallons. Total: $44.13.
So the price went up $1.70 a gallon, or 60 percent under Biden. I fill up about once a week, usually around 15 gallons, so that’s $25.50 a week more, or $1,326 more a year. Although I am trying to drive less.
