while i don't have a lot of sympathy for carbon users, and am not very interested in gas prices, i do want to point out that the cause and effect of price hikes is being a little smudged, and that you're mostly actually just getting ripped off by greedy assholes who are really just using the war as a convenient excuse to price gouge.

there should be laws put in place that prevent hiking prices during wars, but you'd have to get somebody to declare war first.
