Trump keeps quoting $1.98 gas. It's more like $3.17 per the AAA

It was $3.39 for regular on the @Swaye CDA rez gas pumps on Sunday.
Fuck Jay Inslee. Those @Swaye s jack up the price because 75% of their customers drive over from Washington. Should be even less.
Paid anywhere from $2.59 to $2.89 on spring break in a state south of the Mason Dixon line.
Damned Yankees.

lol Trump found some random Alero in SW Texas and is quoting it for the masses to get everyone pissed at their governors.
I wish he wouldn’t do shit like this. Better to just call out individual states and governors for their gas being a % over the national average or quote the state with the lowest avg and ask people how much it costs where they live.
WA would respond with another carbon tax for more bike lanes and light rails that no one will use.
-
The Camaro needs super and even at Costco it's currently $4.60+ a gallon. Thanks, WA Dems!

Wife has a 2017 Ford ST manual transmission racer that needs Ethonal-free Premium and it was $3.69 in Bozeman last weekend when I filled it. I’ve had it up to 135 before but was comfortable going any faster, even in a deserted highway.
-
155 was the fastest I've been and that was on my motorcycle. Regularly saw 130 through turn 8 at Willow springs amature racing 135-140 on the front straight. Almost ran 125 to 140 in a police car several times.
-
Jeez. I put that in my Camaro and it’s like $5.69 at the fuel farm here in Auburn.
-
I meant to say I *wasn’t comfortable going over 135. That was my limit but it can go up to 155 off the lot when they were making them, or faster with modifications.

California intentionally added a bunch of taxes beginning of the year so they could point at Trump and say, "see prices aren't going down!"
Meanwhile the roads are still shit.
Retards like @AOG and @MelloDawg lap that shit up.
-
explain the rest of the country that hasn't gone down anything close to $1.98 either, then.
-
You seem to think that's a counterpoint. I'm not sure why.
-
because this is a nationwide claim and you're just blaming California or Washington. It's not $1.98 or anything close to it anywhere.
I agree west coast gas prices are bad and have been for a long time, but pulling random numbers out of your ass that don't exist isn't the way to solve it, either.
-
Yeah, the way to solve the problem is more carbon taxes, more direct taxes on gasoline, shutting down oil refineries in Cali, deny drilling permits, tax flare offs etc. So you admit there is a problem and as usual you offer nothing to do with fixing the problem except bite at ankles.

FWIW,
The current wholesale price for RBOB gasoline is around $2.02 per gallon, according to Investing.com and MarketWatch. The price for RBOB gasoline futures in July 2025 is at $2.0000, while the price for August 2025 is at $1.9652.

A couple of weeks ago it was $2.85 in NJ at the entrance to the Holland Tunnel. Not exactly the back woods. $4.70 near my house yesterday.
-
Washington state just added 9.5 billion in new taxes and the Seattle Times has 5 stories a day about the cost of tarrifs.
-
Seattle Times "journalists" have the same economic education as the dazzler with the same commitment to watching out for the little guy. Also same marching orders from the DNC. America Last, not just a saying, it is a life style.
-
$3.05 or something at Quick Tit
I didn't feel like putting up with the Costco line and hurry up madness this time. I think it was $2.90 or so a few weeks ago.
-
Adding taxes for slush funds is apparently.
-
5.50 in Bellevue today.
I hope Bob falls into a wood chipper
-
Just need his daughter to square up another softball.
-
Those underground cities and highways don't just pay for themselves.
-
More great news for citizens of California. Fucking up that state took a real team effort by the worst that Dems have to offer.
-
Kalifornia is fucked.
-
still waiting for proof of $1.98

-
Kali limiting and shutting down refineries keeps prices up. When 21% of refining capacity closes completely prices will skyrocket and supply will be limited. Demonrat lawfare. Commie moves. All to hurt Trump and the USA. Our resident commies want the great reset.
-
Isn’t part of the issue with Kali that there’s some ingredient that they must have or can’t have that no other states require which limits their supply from that angle?
-
Not that I know of. Everyone has ethanol fuel now. Usually 10%.
-
That's part of it but not the big part. The big part is taxes and environmental regulations that can't be met. Also, switching refineries from petroleum oil to processing soy bean oil into bio diesel is incredibly lucrative because of the green's massive tax credits and incentives to take petroleum refineries offline and convert the to convert food into an energy product which is about as stupid and inefficient as it sounds.
-
2 refineries close means possible 8 dollar a gallon gas for the 2026 midterms
Fucking Trump
