Drivers hoping to save their credit cards at the pump this month saw the opposite on Monday, when the average price of gas reached $3.44, the highest mark since 2014.
Several factors are combining to make a bleak start to the year even worse in February, according to AAA.

Municipal workers in New York City who have not complied with the city’s COVID vaccine mandate will be terminated on Friday.

On Aug. 2, all new hires were required to be fully vaccinated as a condition of employment.
Last week, separation letters were sent to all city workers who were not in compliance with the mandate. Anyone waiting on a religious exemption appeal will be allowed to remain.
As the deadline looms, Mayor Eric Adams told PIX11 in a statement that more than 90% of the city workforce was fully vaccinated, and that number keeps climbing.

Jackie Robinson is best known as the first Black man to break the “color barrier” in baseball. But, 63 years before him, there was Moses Fleetwood Walker.
During the 19th century, Walker was a catcher for the Toledo Blue Stockings and was the first African American man to play in the Major Leagues.
On May 1, 1884, Walker took the field against the Louisville Eclipse, and in doing so, challenged the color barrier of the MLB. Between May 1884 until Sept. 1884, Walked played 42 games for Toledo.

Actress Susan Sarandon apologized to the families of slain NYPD officers Jason Rivera and Wilbert Mora on Friday for a tweet she shared about police.

The original post she shared, which has since been deleted, was a screenshot of a tweet that said:
“I’m gonna tell my kids this is what fascism looks like” over an image of police lining the streets of New York to memorialize the slain officers.
A caption was written onto the image that said: “So, if all these cops aren’t needed for CRIME that day, doesn’t that mean they aren’t needed ANY day? The tweet was slammed by police unions.

Joe Rogan has put Spotify in a tough spot, but the streaming giant is not ready to part ways with the popular podcast host despite intense criticism over his anti-coronavirus vaccine comments and use of racial slurs.
Spotify CEO Daniel Ek said in a message to employees Sunday that Rogan’s racist language was “incredibly hurtful” and that the host was behind the removal of dozens of episodes of “The Joe Rogan Experience.”
"While I strongly condemn what Joe has said and I agree with his decision to remove past episodes from our platform, I realize some will want more,” Ek said in the note. “And I want to make one point very clear — I do not believe that silencing Joe is the answer.”
