Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler is like the rest of us. He’s not a fan of gas prices.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After spending time playing pickleball with some friends, Butler took his Rolls-Royce to a gas station to fill up.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And let’s just say he was less than pleased as he watched the price of a full tank rise over three figures at the pump.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This is highway f—ing robbery,” Butler said on his Instagram story as his bill rose to $145 “Man, I\u2019m tryna give some of this gas back. Wow.<\/p>\n

“You think if I go in and tell him that I put the wrong gas in here they\u2019d give me a refund? This is crazy.”<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’s unknown where exactly Butler was filling up his tank or what type of gas he bought. But three figures on the pump has become common for many across the country.\u00a0<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Still, Butler is flabbergasted gas prices are this high, and it might lead to a change in vehicle pretty soon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m going electric,” Butler said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Butler averaged 22.9 points, the second-most of his career, in his 12th NBA season. He also had 5.3 assists and 5.9 rebounds per game in 64 contests last season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Butler led the Heat to an upset of the No. 1-seeded Milwaukee Bucks in the first round of the NBA Playoffs. The Heat followed that with a 4-2 win over the New York Knicks in the second round, followed by an exciting seven-game series with the Boston Celtics that ended with a Miami win for a spot in the NBA Finals.\u00a0<\/p>\n
