Prior to this needed war.
The common price of 87 octane, down here in GA. was around $2.95 a gallon, and now is floating around $3.95+ a gallon.

That $1+/- more a gallon, works out to about another $24+ a week deduction out of our fixed or net-income pockets a week.

* The War has been going on 108 days (15.4 weeks) now.

* $24+ x 15 = $360.00 + is what the war has cost just our family so far.

* Now think $360 x's the 100M USA daily use vehicles. That is how much less is being spent in greater USA economy, for other common family items and purchases due to Gas price increases.

ADD TO THAT
The US Oil industry, does NOT need to import Middle-eastern oil to supply the USA, it could charge US Oil prices , instead of Global Market prices, and still be making $Billions a day in hand over fist profits.
