The ban on US exports of oil was lifted in 2015. In 2021 the US was the largest producer of oil in the world and a net exporter of both refined petroleum products and crude. The US is about 91% energy independent. This overnight 60% increase in gas prices is pure price gouging based on a fiction.
You wrote your comment on an internet connected device, I assume you know how to use a search engine. The fact that the US became a net exporter of oil in 2020 is pretty common knowledge so your assertion that the US isn't allowed to export oil is downright farcical.
More words typed in that negative response than just googling an article and copying the link and pasting it here as a response. Still more words than my response just now.
Gas is almost $5/gallon by me, I’d say we’re already there. And the US isn’t even allowed to export oil.

First thing I found.
Oh shit I didn’t realize! Am I thinking natural gas or was that lifted too?
