Johnathan Allen spoke to Trump supporters in Pennsylvania and found some willing to pay more at the pump while others were calling it quits with Trump.
If you drive every day, you’re probably going to buy gas at least twice a week, especially if you don’t like being too low. Plus, traffic is terrible where I live, and you burn a LOT of gas just sitting.
It’s common to work fairly far from your home. I have had many jobs in my life with a daily commute of 50 miles or more, sometimes for years. Add to that side trips to the grocery store, or restaurants, or anything else, and it starts to add up.
I live at the southern tip of my population area. It’s 30 miles or bumper to bumper traffic to get downtown, and I did that commute every day for a while. I even had a job for short time in one of the northern suburbs, and my daily commute was 90 minutes, ONE WAY.

Going through a 400 miles tank of gas is a normal weekly thing in America, that’s why there are gas stations EVERYWHERE. Many people drive 10,000 miles a year or more. I always average more like 15-20,000 per year, because I drive a LOT for work, enough that I consider myself a professional driver for at least part of my job.

Most vehicles have a fuel tank capacity to give about 300-400 miles range.
Who is driving 600-800 miles every week? That is insane.
A lot of people. Especially those who have to do gig work to make ends meet.
