This is the most likely price point. Anything higher and people will start complaining too much and it will drop Biden's approval rating. We've had prices like this before so people will grit their teeth and bear it, but anything higher will become a PR disaster for the green new deal. They will set us up for maximum tolerable pain with no relief in sight and still make bank for their oil buddies. The already overly stressed economy can't bear this load, but people will still just grumble and do nothing about it. $5 will tip the needle too much and Uber and Lyft will make noise too as they will lose drivers in droves. It's all about the pain threshold. Make noise if it starts to creep up so the leftists have to squirm around a bit and justify their actions. Might make some dems think twice about what the economy under Trump was like compared to Biden's economic disaster waiting to happen.

Woohoo! I have family that were collecting those sweet shale dollars until recently. They get to eat again, yay!

Well that's assuming the Democrats don't ban fracking, which they probably will.
