We survived AUTOPENS $5.00 a gallon. 

$5.02 per gallon
Highest Gas Price in HistoryThe highest gas price in U.S. history was reached on June 14, 2022, when the average price peaked at $5.02 per gallon. This surge in prices was attributed to the Russia-Ukraine war, which affected global crude oil supply and demand. The conflict led the 
European Union to seek alternative fuel sources, causing a significant shift in the global oil market. Despite the high prices, 
U.S. gas prices remain relatively low compared to many other countries.  Macrotrends

Apples and oranges. That $5.02/gallon lasted a week. Then it slipped well below $5/gallon. It stabilized, then decreased even more. Iran is under no obligation to release the blockade. They can last indefinitely. It's their greatest weapon. How long can we last? I said that their plan was a battle of attrition. Time is their ally, not ours.
