It's been $10 a gallon here for a year or so, still cheaper then commercial.
Fuel at $10, how much will you fly?

That’d be an ouch, but I’d still be able to do a sunset hop for $25ish with my Luscombe.

Yep.
I added up my aviation costs for 2021, and fuel was only about 1/4 of costs.
Maintenance was the biggest cost, at 2X my fuel costs.
And that was not unusual for me. So, if fuel doubles in price for a year, that would be like a worse-than-average year for maintenance.

According to the chart I'm looking at the price of a barrel of oil hit approximately $100 on 2/24, the day of the invasion. It peaked on 3/7 at $130.50. Right now as I'm writing this, the price is $94.42 a barrel. So fuel shouldn't be up much, if any at all, from the price 2 weeks ago. And yet in many places it is.
My main fuel stop that was the cheapest around looks like they just got filled as they're now one of the more expensive. From 4.70 a gallon to 5.95 a gallon currently

KDKB still $5 for self serve.
KBUU at 4.79. But don't tempt me, got a 200 gallon transfer tank I modified for a customer that I got stiffed on. Maybe when the weather clears I'll go try a turf field that has 4.00 UL94.Come on down to 3MY.
