#2 Hmm, demand falls, generally prices do, too.
Memorial and Independence Day holidays are long over, too. But $5+ per gallon would/should put a damper on spending decisions.

#3 ...Gas prices here in SC are inching up slightly, but I'm assuming that's routine pre-Labor Day increases.

#6 The Inflation Reduction stuff was intended as a save the Democrats economic stimulus. I think they turned it into a last call on the gravy train for all the green and woke interests. No stimulus will result. After getting hammered in Nov, they will try to stage a giant pork fest in the lame session. Mitch will try to help.
