The image in the original post suggests that rising gas prices are, at least in part, attributable to monetary policies by the Fed and treasury.

Said in a different way--this is simply price inflation due to a debased currency.

Bingo, and that is the very last thing in the world the masters of the universe want you to know.

Current noise makes much of drilling, evil arabs and "green" solutions, but the truth is that it goes far deeper than anyone admits-and the total effects are both widespread and not easily reversable. It isn't just oil that we will pay more for, and the cost of debt is going to be shared by all, in the most democratic way possible. Enjoy.

Deception by omission comes to mind.

Very interesting. Have we had about 30% inflation since '10 across the board or just oil?

Here is the breakdown by category. Inflation tends to show the highest gains in commodities most often purchased and required. The CPI index gives different weights to various items and some versions are ex food and energy.
