Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler is like the rest of us. He's not a fan of gas prices.
After spending time playing pickleball with some friends, Butler took his Rolls-Royce to a gas station to fill up.

"This is highway f---ing robbery," Butler said on his Instagram story as his bill rose to $145 "Man, I’m tryna give some of this gas back. Wow.

"You think if I go in and tell him that I put the wrong gas in here they’d give me a refund? This is crazy."
The national average price for a gallon of gasoline decreased to $3.86 for the week ending Sept. 21, per the latest report from AAA. It was at $3.88 the week prior, which could be the peak for this year.

Of course, Butler makes much more than the rest of us after signing a three-year $146 million contract with the Heat that keeps him in Miami through the 2025-26 campaign.
Still, Butler is flabbergasted gas prices are this high, and it might lead to a change in vehicle pretty soon.
"I’m going electric," Butler said.
