Little old lady believes the average gas price is $1.98 a gallon. Can't imagine how she ever came up with that number. Can't decide if I'm sad or angry watching this.

Thought Trump said this 2 days ago, was rattling off his imaginary accomplishments: "Eggs are down, way down, grocery is down, and Gas is $1.98 a gallon".
Anyway, Jacksonville, the birthplace of Ronnie Van Zant, Fred Durst, and probably Yosemite Sam. It is a special place.

Trump found some gas station somewhere with $1.98 cent gas

And then runs off saying gas is down to $1.98 a gallon, when in fact the national average is $3.17 a gallon.
https://gasprices.aaa.com/
And ######### believe him. $2.66 a gallon is the lowest state average in the US. And that's Alabama, and in all of Alabama I'm sure Trump found his $1.98 station. ####, he probably paid the guy $5,000 to drop the price to that for one day.

I thought he was quoting the wholesale price at $1.98 which as of today is at $2.02.
And is down, way down from January.
On the flip side, lower gas prices worry me.

".....that hit $1.98 IN A COUPLE OF STATES"
Beautiful work. Accuse the person asking the question of lying, then lie. Textbook authoritarian move.
heck, even I was giving him the benefit of the doubt, that he found SOME gas station with $1,98 gas. But nope, there are none.
Checking GasBuddy.com, which tracks gas prices at individual stations across the country, we found no station in the U.S. offering gasoline at $1.98 per gallon.

Hmmm everyone who wants gas prices to come down. Wholesale prices determine pump prices does it not?
Instead of wanting to pick a fight, maybe read before you try to be fight. 😉
And I didn’t even mention Biden, you did. I said way down since January.

My gas is not $1.98 a gallon but it’s not unusual for politicians to present the best case outlier. However, if you only call out one politician from one party for something both parties do on the regular, you are part of the problem.

Gas price is dependent upon where one lives to a large extent.Blue State gas taxes are high, refineries near, pipelines, trucking costs etc.
You think they refine magic oil in France to get $5.50 a gallon gas?

Yup and no state income tax, they gotta get money from somewhere. No state income tax just means revenue comes from other sources.

Is this the thread where kooks try to pretend gas prices haven't come down by complaining that they aren't under $2? Well done morons.

as to think gas prices dropping due to economic uncertainty and recession concerns is a good thing. Folks like this probably also think the market dropping the day Trump announced unhinged tariffs was Biden's fault.
