That Kamala comment hurt your feelings didn't it ?

You thought for sure a hand picked DEI (idiot) puppet would easily win because CNN and MSNBC told you she would.


No.

You're fricking awful at this.

$3.30


Anything over $2 is high imo, but man I was paying close to $4 a gallon under Biden. Apparently it peaked at about a $5 average during his term. LINK

I have no doubt we'll be back near $2.50 before long.

That ragincajun dude will be furious that you started a gas prices thread.


My kid and I had a good time last night at UofH watching our Cajuns baseball team defeat the Cougars with a three run 10th inning. So I'm in a pleasantly good mood this morning. Beautiful day outside to get some yardwork done for the wife.

Now...if OP give the Monday morning gas price update next week before I do, I'll be looking on Google Maps for the nearest Sonic.

I'm pretty consistent on that. I will not call gas "cheap" until it goes below $2. Until then, it's just "cheaper."

As in: "Gas is still cheaper today, under Trump, than it was under Biden. Anyone complaining about gas prices is just trying to make a political statement."

That makes zero sense in 2026.

Sure it does. Sub-$2 is absolutely possible and we were well on the road to it before this Iran action. I think we'll get there.

Short term pain long term gain. There’s been a Middle East terror premium built into the oil supply since Iran became a terror state. Eliminate that threat, along with the Venezuelan oil flooding the market, and you will see oil prices crash by the end of the year. Guaranteed.

Trump isn’t gonna let this bleed into the midterms

Both Presidents took unnecessary actions that resulted in significant energy price increase. Biden through his administration’s energy policies and Trump through his Iran war.

The same reason why they always go up and down: Supply vs Demand

The infrastructure in Venezuela is not set up, or on pace, to "flood the market" by the end of the year. Maybe in three years.

But...also consider what price point operators are going to need to max out Venezuelan oil production while we're also currently maxing out U.S. oil production. Oil crashing to $30/bbl ain't gonna encourage much investment.

Just paid $3.30 and that’s rural Mississippi. On top of how high groceries and everything else is. I honestly don’t see how people with two or three kids are making it


The same way they made it when gas prices were 50% higher a few years ago.

No I'm just trying to figure out how Biden raised prices in 2022 if he didn't start a war.


Being consistently anti O&G and putting through dozens of executive orders that drove prices higher.

quote:

Across these actions, Biden’s executive approach to oil and gas focused on:
Limiting new leasing (especially on federal land/waters)
Blocking or restricting specific projects (e.g., pipelines, Arctic drilling)
Increasing environmental regulation (methane, climate review)
Reducing long-term expansion opportunities (offshore withdrawals)


But you already knew that.

admittedly, gas prices are up as a DIRECT result of the current president.


The last president's high prices was 90% coincidence and a fun thing to poke at.


This is 100% Trump's baby. (The baby's name is Israel btw)
