The issue isn't person transport it is shipping and home heating and agriculture

I drive electric so like to imagine myself sheltered from gas price increases but I know grocery costs would explode

Especially if you live were gas cost a buck twenty a liter

Well it's that high because of taxes, so if crude goes up the total price will go up proportionally less than places that have more of the gas cost comprised of non-taxes. (Some of the taxes are flat, and some get waived when gas gets expensive.)
