Gas Prices Where You Live

I think I saw 4.25 here in Louisville today. In Louisville, it depends on which side of the Criminal Gas syndicate you live in.

that Shell station downtown is always at least 20 cents higher than everywhere else. Yet every time I go by most of the pumps have cars attached. I mean the Thorntons a few blocks away is more terrifying but it's usually cheaper.

Qook revisionist history. lmao

The DOW peaked on 12/27/21, over a year after the 2020 election. I don't remember gas under $2.00 except maybe at the blink of an eye. Hopefully longer than a week.

The DOW had a double top, once in early November 2021.

Gas was $1.19 for a few weeks where I live in April-May of 2020. It was great for driving around looking at closed businesses. I remember going and filling up both my cars + my lawnmower cans for about $30. Those tanks lasted months in the cars. I also remember only being able to go to the grocery store or through a drive through for about four months.

It sucked how state governments kept everything shut down.

Gas was $1.60 where I live, the day Trump took over. By the end of his second year in office, it was $2.80. It stayed around $2.60/$2.70 until Covid brought it down. The day Biden was sworn in, gas was $2.14 where we live. It has gradually gone up since. It was $2.89 a couple days before the Ukraine invasion a month ago. So apparently going from $1.60 to $2.80 is ok, but going from $2.14 to $2.89 isn’t. We got up to $4.29 last week, but have actually dropped back to $3.99 as of this morning. I’m a lifelong Republican, but politics have no impact on my life, and politicians sure as hell don’t control my thinking. A lot of you need to try living your lives that way. It makes for a much more enjoyable way of life.

Gas was about $3.29 here before any of the Ukraine crap hit the fan.

Trump is a fixation point for a lot of posters here. Everything runs through Trump for them. I would hope we could discuss energy independence without mentioning former presidents by name. I doubt we can, but it would be nice.

I’m a lifelong Republican, but Trump doesn’t mean shit to me. He’s one of the worst Presidents in my lifetime. But he has zero impact on gas prices. I wish it was as simple as that.

Seems Trump becomes the subject here for some regardless of what cultural or political issue being discussed. Do you disagree with the U.S. becoming energy independent?
 
I could care less what your memory is........I paid what I paid........
He was pointing out how the Dow was never 38k under Trump.

It was 28k around election day and around 30k when he left office. Peaked at 36k earlier this year and was around 35k after Biden's 1st year in office.

As for oil and gas the source below shows both real and nominal prices. Where the former is price in current dollars and the latter is the unadjusted price.

Gas at its lowest (avg) in 2020 was just over $2 but this was due to a decrease in demand. Also prices were higher in real terms over a decade ago than they are now. They were also lower in average from 2015 to 2016 compared to 2017 to 2019.

With that being said the president has next to zero impact on these prices and the news just wants people to be up in arms blaming each other rather than those who control prices. Looking at gas companies as an example but also OPEC.

Where the hell did you live? You know that the election was nov of 16 and he was sworn in jan of 17 right? If you are just gonna make up shit just say you paid $1 per gallon until Trump drove it up to $6.

that couldn't have anything to do with printing half the dollars in circulation in the last 2 years. Have some of you not figured out how Black Rock is able to buy real estate above market price without fear of losing money?

If you punish domestic producers and pipelines I don't know how you think that doesn't hurt price at the pump.

South Georgia. Nothing is made up. All you have to do is check the gas buddy site. I already knew the numbers, because I track them and record them every election. But before I posted them here, I checked again. The numbers I posted are 100% accurate. Instead of calling me out, maybe you should do some research.
