This one and other articles state 8%

And apparently, 21% of US gasoline is imported from Russia.

Also, companies aren't voluntarily selling their product below market price in general, everybody knows production cost didn't suddenly jump. You need either profit limits (like insurance companies have in Europe) or direct price controls.

one of my uncle's, actually my dad's fraternal twin, just passed away. he had a ton of books (he was really smart, but crippled by mental illness). to give you an idea, the topics were mostly consciousness and neurophilosophy. he did have some climate change ones though which I kept for some light reading
