Short supply chain and overproduction.

My local station was behind the curve, but they have caught on.

Some bitch I knew in college posted a pic showing $100 for a 3/4 of a tank fill today. Hey bitch, how about not driving some huge Escalade or Denali. This is why we’re fucked.
It has nothing to do with a credit limit at all. The pumps won't go past $100 because that's what they're programmed to pre-authorize for. You can start over again.
So prices have adjusted to where they should be?

What they SHOULD be? That could be true if wages overall have increased to keep up. Sure, minimum wages have risen in most places, but in much of the professional world, wages have been stuck in time since like 2006 with any recent increase in pay being effectively wiped out by inflation outpacing it. I finally got a little bump in pay (hooray!), but then prices at the grocery store shot up hard, used car prices shot up faster than I could save, etc. Doh! That raise went totally up in smoke and if anything I'm even broker now thanks to shit costing so much now.
If only we could all be Steven Colbert and rich TGR dentists and just "drive a Tesla" to save on gas costs.

Join the first world, prices should be what people will pay. Prices aren’t too high because people are still buying. We can’t provide cheap everything to Americans forever

Demonstrably
the price is whatever the market sez it is
While you're not exactly wrong (it's Econ 101), doesn't take away from the fact that it's still extremely painful for average people like myself. Over these last couple years, we've made so many cuts to our family budget just to scrape by. Can't cut much more. This morning I found myself cutting the usual amount of eggs I cooked the family for breakfast so I can stretch out the carton another day. Kids get same amount but I barely had anything. You're a doctor or something, right? I wouldn't expect you to get it.

That's everyday, always, here in my border town. Before the border restrictions Canadians would cause long lines at the local Costco because they were filling (sometimes multiple) 5 gal jerry cans to take back north.
A good chunk of that difference is (obviously) taxes so it doesn't change with oil prices.
Damn... your family gets *eggs* for breakfast?

We usually eat oatmeal.
Reality is that 1:5 kids in the US already experience some level of daily hunger (IE- a missed meal). This isn’t helping.
I certainly wish I had switched to an EV already as I could have avoided a big chunk of the inflation that has occurred.
I do think there is an argument to be made that companies jacking prices on staples while handing out bonuses should be disincentivized. Taxes, social shaming, prices controls, something.
Ah fuel prices, the constant distraction from things that are actually expensive.
My 4x4 Ford F150 Supercrew gets ~20 mpg on flatlands, with 90% of my driving on the highway
250,000 mile expected vehicle life / 20 mpg = 12,500 gallons of fuel consumed over the entire vehicle's lifespan. And what's that, 20 years? For a $50k truck?
In more tangable terms
12,000 miles per year / 20 mpg = 600 gallons of fuel. A $1 buck increase is $50 per month in increased fuel cost, $2 is $100 per month.
This is TGR, where a $240 day ticket to an EPIC resort is normal. Get a fucking grip.
