I know it’s Not because there’s a shortage of oil or gasoline. In the states . I know it’s not due to a shortage of gas and oil leases I also know demand has increased since the vaccine went on line . But it hasn’t increased more than pre covid ..
And I know in April 2020, benchmark West Texas Intermediate crude prices actually fell below $0 
and I know No single person, aka POTUS  or even government controls gas prices. And 
Diesel is the biggest reason  for overall inflation
And if I recall I said something to the effect that if Russia invaded oil will be at 150 a barrel and it’s heading that way
