Who didn't complain about gas prices in 2022 but is complaining now?

Skyrocketing gas prices in the U.S. brought economic pain in early June 2022, with more than a dozen states surpassing $5 as an average price per gallon. The national gas price average was $4.96, rounded up to the nearest cent, per the American Automobile Association (AAA).

The rising gas prices have, unsurprisingly, spurred news headlines correctly alleging record-setting levels — including, "Gas prices are the most expensive in US history, breaking record from 2008," which USA TODAY published in March.

But, while it was true that gas prices on average nationwide have surpassed past records in terms of dollar amounts, when you take inflation into account, the average per-gallon price has been higher in the past. But just slightly.

Business and finance news site Kiplinger reported in early June 2022 that in order to break the inflation-adjusted record (set in 2008 when the average price reached $4.11 per gallon), the national average price would have to reach $5.40.

I see none of our amateur oil and gas analysts will admit that they were silent when prices at the pump reached all-time highs recently.
