Nope, but Trump will soon have another accomplishment for DU-grade Progs to hate.

BTW, gas prices here in Silicon Valley are still significantly lower than the highest under LIEden,

Ah, terrible puns. One of the few things leftists are consistently good at.

Looking at the price for 91/"premium", it might be, the gas pump at least. The sticker might be a Photoshop, though better than average (note the seam where two sheet metal panels abut).

That said, CA gas prices are $1-$2 per gallon higher than many/most states, and its all about CA taxes and Sacramento's decades-long lawfare and harassment against oil companies and refineries.

As Kennedy might say "your driveway doesn't reach the street" But, he'd miss that one too.

None of them cared about gas prices during the biden or obama reign of stupidity, beyond getting pissed if anyone laid blame on them.

Since unlike many DU-folk I'm not inclined to lie, when we got gas yesterday the price had risen from $5.00 to $5.40 (I rounded up the .001). This is still lower than the peak under LIEden, though close to it (10 or 20 cents lower than LIEden).

Am I misremembering, or was it the case that, in the past, leftists have suggested higher gas prices were actually good, since it would encourage people to use public transit or electric vehicles?

Your neck of the woods has the added problem of all the refineries that have already packed up their dollies and dishes and left the state, as well as those who are preparing so to do.

In my neck of the woods, gas shot up from $2.80 (for premium 91 octane) or so where we were before spring break, to what I paid yesterday at $3.18 per gallon.

You remember correctly. In the 70s and 80s, Enviros were demanding that taxes be raised to bump gas prices up to $5 per gallon ... for the environment.
