It’s all price manipulation. Tank the economy so Trump and his billionaire buddies can buy low…he’ll then pull all the tariffs off the table and the stock market will skyrocket. Just watch…this will happen
Oh, well done!
The master economist with a degree "purchased" from Wharton, has once again delivered for the American people.
You should have him stuffed!
Got it. Just stating that the federal government does indeed have influence on gas prices. I live in California, I completely understand state taxation of gasoline. Quite a number of times the federal government has done things to help reduce the price... Not this regime of course...
Well regular going of the sign is actually $ 1,18469657 per litre.
1 U S gallon is 3.79 litres. A litre is about 1.06 quarts.
So he not entirely wrong just wrong on the volume it buys.
BTW the price of gas IS NOT DOWN. NOR is the PRICE OF EGGS or ANYTHING! I guess Trump easily forgets everything he tells us to get our votes and subsequently "does not care about anything" with respect to ordinary Americans.
Trump actually bragged: "I know what I'm doing!" Has anybody else question Trump? Has anybody ever questioned Trump on how hard it would've been to reach a "trade deal" (questionable) with England with which they already purchased more from us than we purchase from England? Difficult?????
That's about the price it is here, in CA, too. Fortunately, I had a grocery store discount that took .70 cents off every gallon, last fill up, and I have a Prius, so it only holds ten gallons, anyway. I'd rather get grocery discounts.
I use to forget to use my discounts on various purchases but not anymore. Now I use any and all discounts including digital coupons that I can find. I worry that many businesses will lower, even discontinue discounts in the next few months when I will need them the most.
I live in a red state that always has
the cheapest gas. It was $2.26 a gallon when President Biden left office. It is $2.76 a gallon today . Not $1.98 a gallon ,as the liar cheetoputin has said.
In Chicago last week, it was $4.47 a gallon.
The admin is working hard on
creating a situation where the
ME oilfields get blown up by
people defending themselves from
the aggression of Israel.
Then $5/gal will be a wistful memory.
Epic fail as predicted. Incompetence in all policies as well as unlawful policies and actions. Not to mention being taken as a weakling by China and the world.
Yeah, but did you have to execute the fucking composition so goddamn well!
Save some of the excellence for the rest of us, will ya? Sheesh!
Like ... goddamn it! LOOK AT THE IMPLIED LINES!
Tangency is supposed to be hard ...
In UK it's about 7-8 dollars in USA money. Mind you, if I travel more than 20 miles it's a day out! And we have heaps of buses, can go anywhere for £3, being as I am "mature"
Are these today's prices? I ask because I filled up yesterday at $2.64 a gallon. Granted prices where I live are always cheaper than those that are nationwide, but this is quite the jump. 😒 I'll have to check our prices when I go out later today. So much for "cheaper eggs" ... 😕
This is fake news! This morning, our local station told us that Trump has lowered the gas prices BIGLY! I know I'm spending MORE for gas, but I believe Trump bc I live in a red state! We can't beat them unless we play as dirty as them. All this kindness and firm letters won't stop what's happening.
lol aaah 😢 now the 🇺🇸 are paying MORE for a US gallon of gas than 🇨🇦
Yes, I did all the proper math. Yes, I checked out the currency rates…that’s how I roll.
That gas price was not that high at the 100 day mark. It’s practically “Trumpian” in the way it misleads. Are we the same liars that MAGA Republicans are in our opposition, Lincoln Project?
Felon 🍊💩 did everything to destroy America. All his crazy stupid ideas that he thinks out loud for his minions to follow his EO's. "Yes, sir, that sounds fantastic!" 🤡🙄🤬🙅
If oil prices go under $60 a gallon, the oil companies in the US will not make profits. That's because Oil from this area requires more refinement than that of the Middle East and other areas. OPEC could tank the US Oil industry if they so chose while still making a profit.
Yup! You could be earning a guaranteed living income, working toward your dreams and supporting a healthy family - but instead you chose this snake oil salesman.
I’m not sure what’s so weird about this picture. Aside from the Lying Felon-In-Chief, this is what gas prices in California have looked like for 6-7 years now.
"Destroying the agencies that keep your air, water, and food safe. But if you get cancer from pollution, don't worry because we've defunded cancer research too."
RIGHT. And we need a uniform hashtag to make sure that the algorithm can’t weed it out. #FoundTheGrift needs to get trending. Everything this bastard does is for his benefit and we need to start calling it out and putting it all in one spot.
“Starting the day I take the oath of office, I will rapidly drive prices down and we will make America affordable again. We’re going to make it affordable again.”
“We’re going to get your energy prices down. We’re going to get your energy prices down by 50%.”
We will bring our auto-making industry to the record levels of 37 years ago, and we’ll be able to do it very quickly through tariffs and other smart use of certain things that we have that other countries don't.”
“Energy is going to bring us back. That means we’re going down and getting gasoline below $2 a gallon, bring down the price of everything from electricity rates to groceries, airfares, and housing costs.”
The Trump Tariff Tax is about to hit the shelves like a tsunami. This is when the average American will sit up and take notice. Those that voted for him have to go through to pain first so they can then hopefully realize how much of an idiot the guy really is!

Time to take action will you show up and defend your freedom. We are stronger together. The rich wage war and it the poor who die.
I think the cost varies widely based on taxes and grade. It’s $2.98/gallon where I live, too, but the national average is currently around $3.13. If we’re on the low end, it means a lot of people are paying $3.24. This link from AAA breaks it down well.
Good lord, did the residents ok that banner on their building? Is it in Florida. It seems like it would be in Florida. BTW, gas has been $5+ in SoCal for a very long time.
Oil is in the 60s and gas is priced like it's in the 80s it's not a shortage it's market manipulation they are losing money because of electric cars and are gouging the public.
You can always switch those American gas guzzler trucks to smaller, more economic European cars...oh, wait, I think their prices went up too for some reason 🤔

Maybe it’s 1984 math?

I guess the oil companies have just said ‘Fuck You what are you going to do about ?’
"I claim and I blame."

Fuck that orange turd. Time to flush his ass
But when we go to Oregon it’s normally been about a dollar lower.
I see crude crashing. Summer maintenance hasn't even started. This shit is heading for the $4 range.
Try again.
In non-hysteric observation, that's about how much our local gas is up. It's not awful but it is a tell.
Oh and our local Fox bullshit news outlet also told us to start stocking up on imported canned goods, so that's fun

I eagerly await the day when that face and voice leave the public arena. There will be much rejoicing.

I hate how the Republicans have been using memes to spearhead the narrative, the Obama meme being one.
And he said...
(before he lied, of course)
Not sure where he gets gas because it’s high where I live!
“Under my administration, we will be slashing energy and electricity prices by half within 12 months, at a maximum 18 months”
“Prices will come down. You just watch: They’ll come down, and they’ll come down fast, not only with insurance, with everything.”

Gas is more like $3 a gallon now
