gas prices

The story of gas prices this summer will be all too familiar to drivers looking for relief.

"Why in an emergency would we let our strategic reserves go to a Chinese company? There's no explanation for it under the sun until you realize that there's likely financial benefit to the First Family."

Instead of supporting oil and gas producers in Montana, North Dakota, and elsewhere- Biden is supporting Venezuela. And instead of that oil and gas revenue going towards infrastructure for our national parks, it is going into the pockets of dictators.

If you were driving through Bozeman, Montana and you saw gas prices for $1.54 a gallon, no- your eyes were not deceiving you.

Montana is known for wide open spaces and long distances to travel, so it would make sense why our fuel consumption didn't go down as much as elsewhere. We also have industries that depend on fuel to run.

Tim from Savage, Montana says he travelled from Jackson Hole, Wyoming to Helena, Montana. He says gas in Jackson Hole was $5.79 a gallon. Gas was $4.99 a gallon through Idaho on his way up to Helena on Sunday. Yikes.

The fact that Biden is begging Venezuela for oil begs the question- how would the oil coming from the Keystone XL Pipeline compare to potential Venezuelan oil. Here's the numbers.

Plus, if you think gas prices are high now, imagine if President Joe Biden and Congressional Democrats had their way. In the past year alone, Biden and the Democrats proposed 17 additional taxes on made in America energy.

Patrick DeHaan, Head Petroleum Analyst for Gas Buddy, told KGVO News on Friday that gas prices in Missoula will almost certainly top $4 per gallon by the Memorial Day weekend.

Montana gas prices have risen three cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $3.41 per gallon today.
