The guy has literally probably never actually paid for gas in his life so why would he even care.

Where are the people that said “ f your feeling. I just want cheap gas and groceries “

A pathetic, weak little man without any conscience or morals whatsoever. Just when you think he couldn't possibly get any shittier - that somewhere or somehow he'll show the slightest decency, intelligence, or poise - nope, he's shit all the way down. He's like some matryoshka doll of despicable stupidity and thoughtless noise. You can peel away all the layers you want and find only more & more corruption. Only thing worse than that child raping homunculus are the people who praise & support him

MAGA is suddenly no longer concerned about gas prices

It's a 9% increase.

And here I thought affordability was a "democrat hoax"
LespritDeLescalier22
In my area, gas has gone up $.40 in the past 6 days

You think $3.25/gallon is terrible?
Here in Finland it's around $7.91/gallon (1.80€/litre)
Cry me a fucking river...
p.s. Thanks Obama

the important part being:

10% increase in a week. that is not a small increase.

Thing is, their exports include inputs needed for fertilizer. So expect food costs to go up as well :(
HighMagosSquidward
I don't get why people care about gas prices so much. Rent tripling in 5 years is what fucked me. Price of gas seems almost negligible compared to everything else increasing.

I'm in Australia and ours are up to $2.25 in some places from 1.70$ earlier in the week. Per litre. That's 22% percent since Monday. You fat fuck. You've added a quarter more to a full take of petrol let alone food and freight. Not too mention all the innocent all the people you've murdered or the children you've raped.

Good thing the SCOTUS ruled back under Dubya that US troops can never refuse to deploy! oh wait...no...that's bad...

Gas has been slightly under 3 for a good while but just saw now it’s 3.49

I'm going to try really hard not to be too smug about my EV whenever anyone talks about gas prices rising.....

You just know the petrol companies will raise prices just because they can blame it on the way as well

Just some weeks ago he was patting himself on the back for the drop in gas prices
bardman135
They won't ever drop if they don't go up first. https://media1.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPWE1NzM3M2U1NzlhZ3gzYzg1bWp5eWhtOG42ZDBzZmJ0eGo1cmYwMnptb2ZmZ2pmZCZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/d3mlE7uhX8KFgEmY/200w.webp

Just wait, if the war ends quickly enough, he'll start patting himself on the back as gas prices start settling down, too.

State of the Union was Feb. 24th, less than two weeks ago
Leithreas
All the way to "$2 a gallon in a lot of places" which was a flat out lie of course

I work with these prices for a living and I would like to point out professional standards when looking at this for any involved.
Most places will use the EIA reporting tables for gas and diesel prices for calculating costs. (Just Google EIA gas padd 3 and it shows up)
This is what large corporations use in logistics to calculate fuel surcharge on shipping costs. (Alongside the firstmile surcharge rate table) we have shown a 2.5% increase for 2 weeks straight. Following a .6% increase.
orivalx
The straight closed over the weekend and reporting happens every Monday. So there has not been enough time to fully recognize impact. But the calculations I ran for my company show a rough predicted increase of around 9.7% in the coming 2 weeks on an average.
This is because only 8% of the current US oil imports are affected by the straight closing. And while it does supply 17% of global oil trade.
Global rising prices will affect the rate we pay for imports but we also expect that russia
orivalx
Bypassing sanctions through 3rd party countries will actually keep the global prices more stable than we would be likely led to believe.
The big issue i see here. Is that while this isnt guaranteed. It does look like something worth looking into that oil execs may have known about the Iran strikes before congress and we did yet again due to their pricing strategies over the past 4 weeks.
ProCycle
Diesel in my area went from $3.09 to $4.59 A dollar and a half, 50% increase. Still rising too.
NightOwlRally
Diesel has stayed around $3.25 here for a while now, I haven't been out to see the new damage but I'm sure it isn't much better
CallMeCourierSix
Four weeks ago, it was $3.40 in my area. Now it's $4.80. 41% increase.
jethroismaxbaer5772
On Monday, gas was 2.15. By Tuesday it was 2.69. Thursday was 2.89. And those are the cheap gas stations (Murphy, Kroger) not Shell or Chevron. I didn't notice the diesel price until last night, it was 4.29. And the only reason it's that cheap is because I'm an hour drive from the refineries.

Diesel went up 90 cents in one day where I'm at in MO
