It means the demand is back and the days of -40/barrel like in 2020 are over. That was deflationary and that’s what to worry about, not inflation. We are far from record highs of gas prices,

First of all we don’t print money. Not how it works, not even remotely. I could give you a detailed view on how the money shows up but it would go over your head I am sure. That’s why professionals deal with it and not the average man. Secondly, rising wages are the primary driver of inflationary pressures. Why since 1981 and the assault on the working class by the GOP we have not had inflationary issues. Wages have always stagnated and deflated in value thus keeping inflation at bay. Now we have the great resignation and a shortage of workers we are seeing rising wages, don’t worry that will drive some retirees back into the market. It is already happening.
Once again the free market working as intended.

If we can just get 46 to get rid of the stupid tariffs 45 put on and allow the economy room to roam it will be epic.

A great quote that you should take note of.
