I regret naming !theonion@sh.itjust.works after a single source, despite my continued adoration for The Onion's work. I did it for visibility, and it worked, but someday if feasible I'd like to point here instead.

I'm not American but I only filled up half way the other day. It is what it is... The high prices don't really hurry when it comes down to one tank or two . It's in the long run that its unsustainable.
The situation is more fucked than western media has let on. There isn't really footage out of that area, nor are they allowing satelite, so few know what's going on. But reports have come in of a ton of damage. Even from what's been confirmed, a significant amount of oil infrastructure is offline and won't be online for months to years. We're about to see some long tail effects.
The Trump administration is burning cash to keep the paper price of oil low. But the price of a delivered barrel is is like almost $40 higher.
This is not meants as a doomerish post, just a long winded saying of don't expect gas to go down anytime soon, even if the news says that the futures oil price dropped, it might in fact even rise some more.
Less than a second to go up, a geological epoch to come down again.
