Thursday

It has never been that high in this county. At least not adjusted for inflation. (During 43's presidency it hit $4, but that was over 20 years ago.)
But, as an absolute value it has never been as high.
At out local stations here, we're over $4.30. Same thing; highest number I've ever seen & we've lived in this town for 46 years.
The blatant, provably false things they say are galling.
