Last Monday I filled my car up at BJ’s here in Burlington. Gas was $2.42. I just filled my wife’s car up. Gas was $2.82. Thanks Trump.

The self-proclaimed very stable genius has long struggled with the definition of “stable.”

Hard to believe as full of horseshit as he is. Must have it catered wrapped in gold foil.

True. He’s also struggled with the meaning of a lot of other words.

So far this is what I've heard listening to maga:
"Gas prices going up is worth the price we have to pay for Trump doing what he needs to do."
"This war... its not a war don't call it a war...has gone on since 1969 and Trump is trying to finally end it."
"The US is technically at war with everyone all the time, so this isn't a big deal."

My investments are up slightly from Jan 1st and gas is still very affordable. If your against MAGA like me you want to see gas shoot up past $3.60 and the markets to drop a lot more. Right now there should be minimal complaints

The cult will never learn.

And I'm too old to live through another recession or crash like the dot com bubble or the housing crash.

And yes $3.60 isn't the end of the world, but that combined with everything else being up, my shitty little raise isn't keeping up.

• $3.29 at Franklin & Estes
• $3.29 at West Main Street & HWY 54
• $3.14 and $3.19 at White Cross west of Carrboro
• $3.29 at Morrow Mill Road and HWY 54 west of Carrboro

All of these stations were $2.79 or $2.89 before Trump followed Bibi into a war in the Persian Gulf.

Those will be cheap by Tuesday and laughably out of reach two weeks from now. We will absolutely see $4 a gallon in March and possibly $4.50.

But so many cultist on social media are convinced that it was so much higher under Biden. Reading the shit they post, one would think that gas was $10 a gallon under Biden.

Cause Exxon and BP shareholders want to get rich and don't give a shit. Corporate world is fucking evil

Not evil, just compulsions of capitalism.

50 cents a gallon, not a big deal.

Hmmmm.

I remember my F-150 held 32 gallons of gas and got 12 MPG.

I can't find an exact average fuel capacity for cars in the US, so let's go with 16 gallons.

16 gallons, that's an extra $8 each time one fills up from empty. What if the average person fills up 1.25 times a week, that's $10 a week, 52 weeks in a year, were at $520. For no fucking reason at all.

And that's only at this point, just wait until it's up a dollar, then two dollars...

I'd love to see the ignorant cultist spin $5 a gallon gas as a positive.

I agree with you on the near future of gas prices.

I meant to note diesel.

I mostly wrote those gas prices down because those are the stations I pass weekly if not 3-5 days a week. I want to see the change.

We went from $2.39/gal on Monday to $3.00/gal today in Texas. A 25.5% inflation in less than a week.

1326% increase if extrapolated to a year.

$91.27 now for oil futures. Up 28.31% over the last 5 days.

Thx, DJT.

They are passing on the price of their primary supply on the open market: crude oil.

Just like businesses pass on tariff duties (taxes) to consumers.
