Let’s see where the prices go after deranged DJT imposes his tariffs on crude oil.
For the most part, a president has little control on gas prices. It really is a function of supply and demand. The exception is, of course, tariffs that the American people will not be paying for.
I argue that gas prices are impacted by oil price, not affected much by US policies. But keep this time stamped pic handy. Use it against trump in the future. Get pics of grocery prices too. Oil will dip as supply will increase under trump but unemployment and grocery prices will rise a lot.
Texas has low fuel costs for a while now, I pay 2..59 for shell with rewards up to 10 cents off . Economy under Joe was never really talked about positively in the news media. Never schooled the magats,only negative news about Joe. they will soon see what eggs and gas will sky rocket too . #tarrifs
Woooow. That’s so cheap. I just did a calculation for another price of 3,19 someone had. And compared to you guys we pay 2,5x the price here in Norway. The price you have there is even better! Crazy. But in Norway you can’t get that low octane fuel tho. Lowest is 95, but usually 98 is all you find.
I get gas at Costco. Sam Walton and his family spent 32 million this election cycle. Majority of money went to conservative PACs, anti-abortion governors, tough on crime measures, charter school and Koch bros Americans for Prosperity
We all should document, because, the magats have Trump amnesia syndrome, where they glorify the Trump 1st turn as glorious, it was everything but that.
a constitutional path to removing Trump and a Presidential Special election
check the provisions of the electoral count act(s) some wipe out all the votes of the disqualified president but the 20 / 3 and other past versions sugest a special election for new president
Keep that picture for a year from now when everyone says it's still better than under biden whatever the prices become. The illusion is unreal to me. The economic sentiment is already better wrf
I understand your frustration, but fossil fuels are fungible goods so you can’t bifurcate foreign & domestically produced fuel. There’s a little variation after refinement, but prices are mostly determined on a global scale.
People still won't appreciate. They didn't appreciate the job numbers, working class bills, unions, price gouging, child tax credit proposals and school debt proposals. It's sad but dems aren't good at advertising and tooting their own horn
@realtexaspaul.com We need to create a tracker of key consumables gas, eggs, milk, meat, etc. so we can show what the dumbassery of Trump’s plans will do.
That is about $0.54/Liter. In Newfoundland, Canada, we are paying $1.679/L. When Americans bitch about fuel prices I always laugh because you are paying today what we were paying 30 years ago.
In Britain standard unleaded is 95 octane & super unleaded is 97 octane... The equivalents of 3 star & 4 star in the day.
So... Does America measure octane in a different way to Europe or is it genuinely a different level of refinement.
I don’t know if this helps or not. The highest I’ve ever seen here is 91, older stations offer as low as 85. I’m guessing it might have something to do with either how refined your petrol is, or how under regulated ours is.
For too long fossil fuel companies have had largely unlimited £££ to greenwash their dirty reputations whilst continuing to wreak havoc with our planet – it’s time for that to end .
I saw gas was going up to $3.19 on my way out today in West MI. It was still $2.77 to $2.79 on my way home tonight. I pulled into gas station with sign saying $2.79. Got my gas and pulled out. Looked back and price on sign, $3.19. I’ve never had that happen before. Must be doing something right! 🎉😊
My only issue is that expensive gas causes people to drive less and pollute less. The air was pretty good during lockdown. But I realize people are more concerned about their wallets.
they used to put these stickers on the pump with joe pointing to the price saying “thats because of me”. strange i dont see those anymore :). anyway prez has zero control over price of gas its supply and demand in a mostly free market. go nuclear and stop funding terrorists in uae etc.
This isn't Biden's doing. This is the rich easing the financial pain after an election in which they got EXACTLY what they wanted.
The high prices were for an election talking point. ammunition for the GOP. basically "SQUEEZE THE HELL out of people, and blame it on Biden, the rubes will believe"
🆘🌎🆘 Atmospheric CO2 at 426 ppm, CH4 at 1926 ppm. (CH4 is methane. 25% more powerful than CO2.) You can applaud the fossils companies for wrecking our planet, and driving us to extinction. Not that easy to reverse this man made screw up. Addressing Our failure is the first step to fixing this mess.
Enjoy it now. When rump gets in office he'll screw up EVERYTHING because he can. He was given free rein by the ignorant Americans who didn't vote or who did but for reasons that were lies.
As always Republicans ride in on a Democratic Presidents' coattails of the work they did improve the economy.
We all know the next chapter, Republicans ruin it and drive up deficits.
$3.29 12- Large eggs. Not too expensive. Only in grifters minds. (Who get kicked out of parents house after regurgitating MAGAsses lies at dinner table.) Quit fast food and get apprenticeship job.
Use the debit lock I take a picture of each incoming date but you can look back and there is a wealth of knowledge on that website. https://USDebtClock.org
lol yes it must be Joe's fault ..now tell me why he has so much influence
.I live in Canada ..stay in mexico ..travel to Europe ..and he has sent gas up in all those countries ..the orange diaper bag will fix all these countries I am so happy
people forget that 'rump caused the price to artificially go up for oil. The time was april/may 2020 when price of oil/barrel was in the negative. 'rump "talked" to putin and mbs to slow-down (even halt) oil production to create a demand. Sheesh...tired of auto-correcting people....
Price war. No trade involved. The mango idiot (via pressure from oil execs) talked with MBS and putin to stop production. It was 2020, nobody driving and petro usage was way down; hence a glut. "....US oil prices increased by 25% on 2 April 2020, the biggest one-day increase in history...."
March 2020. Price per barrel had dropped below $0 dollars. Oil companies were quickly drying up. OPEC was slow to react and did not negotiate cutting production, their entire job. Donald Trump stepped in and negotiated a cut in production while keeping American reserves high.
Ummmm… no. Trump caused the spike in gas prices because of the artificially low prices… JUST STOP and admit the orange freak is the WORST business person. His father even told him that… he’s a man baby, LDE, bed wetter.
Since no Democrat will get economic credit for lowering gas or breaking records for oil and gas production, maybe we should just be who we are and actually try to address climate change.
New Year Resolutions: take photo of gas pumps on 1/01/2025 Take photo of gas pumps on Inauguration Day Take photo of gas pumps every month Let’s see how quickly prices of gas, electricity, eggs & healthcare rise under GOP. Document
Take note of all the trucks on the road also. This year has been busier than I have ever seen before up here in Illinois. The least traffic I saw on the interstates occurred in early 2009 and 2020. I believe there is a connection in those time frames.
Joe did great work. , But now that big oil got the 'President' they want, they are letting us all see a more true price. After all, can't run on hugh gas prices if they aren't.
Just like suddenly news organizations feel compelled to explain tariffs. It's not like that is new information either.
But T Paul what about the eggs man they to him? What good is it if I can fill my tank up but I can't afford no eggs. Can Joe do something about these eggs prices
Let's get the numbers on January 20th, 2025... it's not Don's desk until then... Get the Unemployment, Markets, Inflation, GDP, and Crime...and repeat them every single day. Grow a Garden & get some hens.
What's going to happen when the jobs reports start coming out and we start losing millions of jobs under Trump. My guess is they will put someone in charge that will lie about the reports.
Let’s not forget this because ignorant orange man will try to take credit for this. After he tries to destroy Joe’s economy with stupid inflationary tariffs! Mark this price on your calendar!

We got gutted
I was there today wishing I hadn't filled up last week 😣
I was making a post that was trying to point the finger of prices increases at the proper source

Up a dollar since the election 🙄
(Still don't want to be an American)
So... Does America measure octane in a different way to Europe or is it genuinely a different level of refinement.

Costco was at $2.98/gal.

Hello, @gavinnewsom.bsky.social? Look at the difference!
It'll soon be very different. 😒
Thanks Joe!!
The cheapest I’ve seen anywhere.
