and the lowest is alaska which is like 29 cents the most immediate thing that could probably be done is have the states themselves look about look at what they're charging and and adjust those fees adjust those taxes or waive them or do a holiday or something like that and that brings some immediate relief but again the problem is is that relief relief only lasts as long as we don't get a 20 spike in crude the next day because of a tweet or because because of a drone strike

We're in a really tough spot right now.

Look, I filled up yesterday.

It sucks.

And I've noticed, and nobody wants to be pushing low and moderate income families into energy poverty.

My industry hates that.

We want them to be able to afford food and gas.

So that's where we're at.

I do think you see it this summer, particularly in the United States, because, again, we are insulated but not isolated, and we have the supply here.

You mentioned exports earlier.

We're at record exports as well because we're trying to help our European and our Asian allies mitigate this particular risk.

With the straight opens, then they can get their supply from the Gulf and other places.

And that then puts downward pricing pressure on the United States.

And that's what we'd like.

We want that as soon as we possibly can.

Again, you don't want to be producing something that nobody can afford to buy.

It's the worst case scenario for us in the industry right now.

Yeah, I mean, I think 285 to 315 is where everybody's happy, and most of our guys are making money.

And that's a pretty fair price.

You want a growing economy, which then needs energy to be able to fuel it.
