POLITICS & RESOURCES

Currently in Southern California, gas prices are pretty insane. The average cheapest gas is easily over $5.50 USD a gallon. Some places even over $6 a gallon. Assuming you’re unfortunately stuck with a car that requires premium, I can easily imagine you spending over $100 USD to fill up your gas tank … which might happen once or twice a week (so you can end up spending ~$600 a month in just gas). If you drive a truck or an SUV, maybe you can even end up spending $1000 a month in gas.

Even Lamborghini is putting a hold with commerce with Russia (Lamborghini is owned by the VW Volkswagen group). Before the crisis with Ukraine, Russians were infamous for buying tons of Lamborghinis (oil money).

Which makes me think —

Let us assume a big source of petroleum and oil/gas is from Russia, and Americans hate high gas prices. Then the question — would the average American prefer anti-Russian embargos on oil (for high gas prices), or prefer their low gas prices?

high gas prices Americans want to help, but prices...
