Average U.S. retail gasoline prices crossed $3 a gallon for the first time since November on Monday as the conflict in the Middle East worsened, setting up a key test of public approval of President Donald Trump’s decision to attack Iran, analysts said.

“fuck everyone driving a giant ass gas vehicle to the point where the avg SUV driver is crying about it.” Just isn’t as fun to read or write. SUVs are generally smaller than trucks so trucks are implicit.
