Soaring fuel costs and temporary shortages.

Origin & Impact

The Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack in May 2021 caused temporary gas shortages across the Southeast, with panic buying creating long lines. Throughout the year, gas prices climbed to multi-year highs, becoming a political flashpoint.

Social media filled with photos of gas station price signs and “I did that” Biden stickers.
