A few years from now, some people will be nostalgic for their “cheap” $5/gallon gas…
It’s coming. Couple weeks ago the last ship that passed through the Strait arrived in the US. Some analyst had estimated that June is going to be a rough month for gas prices
That record was set by Trump though. History remembers.
I paid $6.30 a gallon for premium fuel just yesterday. This included a $0.20 discount.
Regular was right at $6 a gallon.

All they need to do is find a way to blame Biden for the Iran War and they’re home free.
4th of July is going to be the day a lot of dollars declare independence from the American voters wallets
If idiot man understood supply and demand, he’d know that our supply is dwindling fast, and demand will either stay stagnant or increase. Basically, shit’s gonna keep climbing.
I must have memory holed the $5 under Biden. I’ve been driving for decades and I don’t remember it ever hitting $5. I don’t even remember going much over $4.
Let’s pretend that $6+ gas all over the west coast right now isn’t a thing.
My gas is already way higher than it ever was under Biden.
Gas never hit 4.80 a gallon under biden here in Minnesota.

They’ll start “remembering” gas being nine dollars under Biden.
The reality is, ***it should have already broken $5.02***, it’s just we live in a world where nothing is real; and companies manipulate prices at will to juice politics. It shouldn’t have actually reached $5.02/gallon average under Biden, because the Russians weren’t *actually* that much of the global oil market. And with the Iran conflict it should *actually* be well over $5.02/gallon.
Iran might save democracy in this country. Sending raciest pieces of shit into cities to harass and kill civilians wasn’t enough to get trumps supporters to turn on him but having to pay more at the gas pump seems like it might
This article is very confusing for people already paying over $5.50 a gallon for weeks now
At least when this comes up they can finally stfu with “gas was $5 under Biden”.
Just kidding I know they already have the goalposts loaded on an F250 with a MAGA flag on the side ready to drive down the street.
15 million barrels per day has been reduced in global oil supply.
In the late 70’s when the oil crisis hit the US and there were lines at gas stations it was 5 million a day.
While the US has basically added the production of Saudia Arabia to its output in the last decade, it’s still not going to be enough given the continuing shut down of the Strait of Hormuz and the massive damage and protracted infrastructure rebuilding needed in the area hit by a needless war.
I never remember gas getting that high. I remember gas being this high during the Iraq war in the 2000s but I don’t remember this supposed super expensive gas during Biden’s term.
Just wait… omg
I’d be freaked too. The only thing his followers have ever cared about is gas, food prices and themselves.
I was wondering why the high gas prices didn’t hurt as much during covid. Then I realized that we weren’t driving nearly as much during that time. With wfh culture nearly gone, and covid precautions not an issue anymore, driving a lot more now and its really starting to hurt.
People need to stop swallowing these “secretly freaked out” pieces planted by administration insiders to try to make you believe their are adults in control. No one is freaked out and they are all focused on achieving a fascist state as quickly as possible.
The 5 dollar gas that was a direct result of the Trump admins fuck up of the COVID opening gambit? That $5 gas? The same price that went down almost immediately after the Biden admin started their agenda? Yet in Trumps second admin they are still blaming Biden for things well into midterm season
Replace that 5% of ethanol with gasoline and see what the real price is
Its coming, without a doubt. The strait is still closed, and global reserves are dwindling. The actual supply shortage hasn’t kicked in yet. Once that happens, hoooo boy, gonna be the 1970s all over again with lines at the gas stations. Might even come with good ol’ fashioned stagflation. Would be ironic, considering Trump and conservatives always liked to shit on Jimmy Carter for the economic situation he was saddled with.
I don’t EVER remember gas being as high as it is now, even under Biden.
Every single time they did a story on gas prices when Biden was President they would always go to the one gas station that had ~$7.09 a gallon as the price. I wonder why no news outlets are doing that now?
Biden inherited high gas prices. Trump creates them.
“I think he is amazing: My truck used to hold $59 of gas and now it holds $120 of gas. I don’t know how he did it but he is amazing and I plan on voting for him again…”.
-Republicans
There is already a difference in the fact that Trump is the direct cause. Biden gas prices was due mostly to the pandemic.
We’re at $6 in Chicago
Wasn’t the 5.02 just the normal “there’s a democratic incumbent so we artificially raise prices in the fall” boost and for like barely any time? Or was it the high from when immediately after he took over and shit was still crazy? I forget which weird spike with suspect market forces it was.
There’s a station near me that’s $5.14 a gallon already.
Finally, something that might actually happen in another 2 weeks under the Trump administration.
Freaked out? They don’t give a shit, they’re all rich and protected from any of this.
Let’s not pretend anyone in the government at that level cares about the common citizen.
I just spend $5.75/gal filling up this morning on 86 octane. I’d kill for $5.02.
Potentially? We’re there in Vegas.
Trump literally said he doesnt care
High prices during Biden were from TRUMP, And his complete and utter incompetence during his first term.
> President Donald Trump has often boasted about his administration’s economic policies by comparing them to high prices under the Biden administration
I mean that’s Trump’s one simple trick though, isn’t it? Lies? It’s easy to boast if you just lie, and your supporters let you.
Oh it’s coming. Trump doesn’t have any plans for Iran and what they do will be a lose lose . Plus he said he doesn’t think of anyone’s financial situation but he’s willing to give tax payer money to J6 criminals.
Why are they freaked out? Won’t they just say it’s fine and we’re all really happy with it and Trump’s approval rating is amazing and promises made, promises kept?
