AAA says the reason is that OPEC is increasing oil production much more than expected. Prices nationwide are $3.22 per gallon currently. Last year at this time they were $3.61.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="https://www.nationalparkstraveler.org/2025/04/more-10-percent-national-park-service-workforce-has-left" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer">National Park Service Purge? 1 in 8 Workers Take Trump Admin Offer </a><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="https://www.nationalparkstraveler.org/2025/04/more-10-percent-national-park-service-workforce-has-left" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer"></a>An estimated 12.5% of the NPS's workforce took one of the three Trump administration offers to resign or retire early.

The suit is seeking a recall and monetary and punitive damages on behalf of the thousands of owners whose lives were "upended."<br />
