The main reason for the climbing gas prices is the global price of crude oil, notes AAA. It peaked when Russia began its invasion of Ukraine, but has begun dipping to around $105/bbl.

"Usually this time of year, with warmer weather and longer days, we'd see an uptick in gasoline demand as more people hit the road," AAA spokesperson Andrew Gross said on March 21. "But we had a slight drop in demand last week, which may be due to higher pump prices. In our new survey of drivers, 59% said they would change their driving habits or lifestyle if the cost of gas hit $4 per gallon. And if gas were to reach $5, which it has in the Western part of the country, three-quarters said they would need to adjust their lifestyle to offset the pump price."

Many, many Twitter users also accused Ice of stealing the tweet. The same joke has been made on social media for years and often resurfaces when gas prices increase. One person praised Ice for tweaking the joke just a tiny bit. "Everyone else that stole this tweet just copied and pasted but not Ice T. My man changed the pump from number 5 to number 9 hoping it would make it original," they wrote.
