The nationwide average price for regular gas hit a reported six-month high of $3.60 a gallon on Tuesday, spiking more than 50 percent under President Joe Biden.

In the past month, gas prices rose more than 20 cents. They are over a dollar more expensive ($2.38) than when Trump left office.

Gas prices remain high and could go higher due to industry and political factors. Biden’s economic war on American energy independence during instability in the Middle East and in Ukraine are significant factors.

"The cost of gasoline at the pump should be at least $5 per gallon."

-Joe Biden, candidate in 2008.

And this time he can’t run to the middle east thugs to pump more oil to bail his arse out. Which nation will pump more oil to help Biden? Saudi? Not likely since they hate Hamas and Iran and Biden is their greatest ally. Qatar? Not likely with American weapons blowing up their beloved Hamas terrorists. MAYBE Mexico will pump more oil, if they can, to thank Biden for the open border.

it takes more rubles to buy the same amount of Russian oil-

yet the ruble is down and not up.

File under things not to be seen on the internet.

All according to plan.

Sorry, 112 % increase but that is bad enough.

[(3.78-1.78)/1.78]*100

Up over $1 in the last month.

I saw $5.49 per gallon close to my work in NorCal, but I am sure it higher in other places in my area.

Let’s go Brandon!

Let’s go Democrats!

Back to $5 in Kalifornia, a bit cheaper if you are one of the folks that think you are saving money by sitting / idling in your car for 30 minute Costco lines.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Spike gas prices, flood the country with free money, sit back and watch the country burn.

[SaveFerris]

All according to plan

If you’re confronted by a leftist saying “You rube! The president has no control over gas prices!” Send then a link to Nancy Pelosi blaming high gas prices on “The oil man in the white house”. That’s usually the silencer.

Sep 18, 2023 — The state’s largest H2 fuel supplier has hiked its pump price to $36 per kg across all 37 of its filling stations.

Are you better off today than...

Oh - the hell with it.

[Flaming Conservative]

Gas is Tulsa went up 20 cents from yesterday to today.

My 2020 GC got filled yesterday for $3.62⁹

I live near ground zero where the Speedway effect takes place.

     Last year 84 octane was hovering around $2.79 when...
...  it JUMPED to $3.29 and dribbled back to $2.89 when...
...  it JUMPED to $3.39 and dribbled back to $2.99 when...
...  it JUMPED to $3.49 and dribbled back to $3.09 when...
...  it JUMPED to $3.59 and dribbled back to $3.19 when...
...  it JUMPED to $3.69 and dribbled back to $3.29 when...
...  it JUMPED to $3.79 and is dribbling back to $?.??


(Dribbling takes about 2 weeks to happen)

‘Down’ and ‘up’ are relative to the perceived value of the Dollar.

In Moscow, the ruble is up and not down.

[SuperLuminal]

For my area: 3.49 (yesterday) - 2.05 (2020) = 1.44 increase...
That is about a 68% increase...

[Elsie]

Ya want some apples mixed in with those oranges?

 

California’s largest H2 fuel retailer, True Zero, which operates 37 of the 53 hydrogen filling stations in the state, recently hiked the price of H2 at all its pumps to $36/kg, up from around $30/kg.

 

As recently as April 2021, it was charging just $13.14 per kilo.

 

Your reply made it seem as though the price hike alone was responsible!

Well where I live there is much complaining about greedy oil companies. Looks like it is too soon for the RIP on the carbon economy. As far as old white guy in the White House, didn’t he just put a ban on LNG?
