You think the price is coming down after raking in billions?
Gas will never be more than 5¢-10¢ less than what it is now…

Hush. It’s our duty to Israel to pay $5/gal of gas.

Wow, that’s more than at the beach in South Alabama

Vote for leftists. See how much you pay.
The problem with this statement is that gas prices weren't much higher under Obama, Clinton, etc. They only spiked with Biden and even with him, the price of gas came back down.
Prices have been steadily climbing for this ENTIRE year and there is no end in sight.
Republicans are going to be destroyed in November for 2 reasons: Democrats are pissed about prices (they still care about themselves more than others) and Republicans are too apathetic to bother voting.
Republicans will say "why bother voting?" when none of the promises from 2024 have come to fruition, other than closing the border down and ridding of a bunch of government sponges. And even with that, how has that helped the average American citizen?

Exactly. Those who think otherwise are delusional and broken.
Guarantee they will never blame the current administration. If anything blame everyone else.

A fill up costing $4 more isn't.
It’s far more than $4 more to fill up any tank more than 3 gallons.
The inability of people to be honest about how bad fuel prices are currently is concerning.

Where were you in 2022, gas was higher then
I keep hearing people complain that gasoline is over $4.00 a gallon.
And yes, I'd love to see it at $2.00 again. But before we declare gasoline the most outrageously expensive liquid on Earth, let's put things in perspective.
For $4.00, I get a GALLON of gasoline. I pour it into a 4,000-pound machine, turn a key, and that gallon will haul me, my wife, the groceries, the golf clubs and half the junk in my trunk almost 30 miles down the highway.
That's actually a pretty impressive day's work for $4.00.
Now let's compare.
A restaurant sells me a 5-ounce glass of wine for $9. That's about $230 a gallon. And how far does it transport me?
Usually from the dinner table to the men's room.
A fancy coffee shop can charge $6 for a 16-ounce latte. That's $48 a gallon. It doesn't transport me 30 miles. It transports me from "Leave me alone" to "Okay, now you may speak."
Bottled water at a convenience store might be $2.50 for 20 ounces. That's $16 a gallon, for something that occasionally falls out of the sky FOR FREE.
A 12-ounce energy drink at $3.50 works out to more than $37 a gallon. Apparently caffeine becomes a precious mineral once you put lightning bolts on the can.
Buy one of those little 2-ounce bottles of "energy shot" for $3. That's $192 a gallon. At that price, it shouldn't give me energy. It should mow my lawn.
Maple syrup at $8 for a 12-ounce bottle? About $85 a gallon. And its principal technological achievement is making pancakes sticky.
Vanilla extract at $6 for two ounces? That's $384 a gallon. For $384, I expect the vanilla bean to come to my house and bake the cookies.
Printer ink can cost thousands of dollars per gallon. And unlike gasoline, it sometimes refuses to come out because the printer has decided cyan is low.
Even that $9 glass of wine deserves another look. At roughly $230 a gallon, filling a typical 15-gallon gas tank with restaurant wine would cost about $3,450.
Of course, after drinking 15 gallons of wine, transportation would no longer be your biggest concern.
So yes, $4.00 gasoline is expensive.
But it's also a remarkable bargain when you think about what you're buying. You're purchasing enough concentrated energy to push several thousand pounds of steel, glass, groceries and humanity nearly 30 miles.
Meanwhile, we'll cheerfully pay $6 for coffee, $9 for wine and $3 for water, then stand at the gas pump staring at the numbers like we're watching the national debt clock.
Maybe gasoline doesn't need better pricing.
Maybe it just needs a fancier name.
"Handcrafted Premium Petroleum, locally pumped, small-batch refined, with subtle notes of octane and dinosaur."
Put it in a 12-ounce artisan bottle and charge $14.
We'll line up around the block.

Put your big boy pants on. It’s possible to complain about gas prices and not want to be invaded by illegals at the border.
Let's think about it. The choice is democrat or republican. You say you don't want to be invaded by illegals, but everything you say is an attack on the party that closed the border.
Attacking one party inevitably empowers the other party in a binary party system, particularly close to an election. Therefore, you are helping the party who will invade the country with illegals.
You may not support an illegal invasion, but you are certainly making it more likely by refusing to acknowledge this administration's successes over its failures.
The Iran conflict will end, and prices will drop. This won't be the low point for gas for the rest of eternity. If you put democrats in power now to oppose Trump, they will be able to claim credit for prices dropping.
We know how emotional people can be, so many will believe it. This will strengthen the democrats for 2028. You don't want an invasion, but it's there waiting if conservatives can't control themselves.

Have people honestly gotten this stupid? I’m seeing this over and over again. The retarded low IQ “IF YOU DONT LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT TRUMP YOU ARE MUH LIBERAL WHO WANTS THE WORST!” logic.
His core campaign promises was cheap energy and consumer prices and no foreign wars. I'm not even going to mention Epstein files transparency that was hyped and promised.
Literally broke both and now I'm getting lectured about how I'm a liberal who never supported Trump by this

Why was pointing out high gasoline prices under Biden ok but now it’s forbidden on here? Make it make sense.

Gas prices suck, but if thats your measure of destroying a country, you truly are an idiot
And if you think that gas prices at the pump are the only impact of rising fuel costs, you truly are an idiot.
Trump apologists keep wanting to say that gas prices aren't any higher than they were under Biden. They are too damn stupid to grasp that diesel prices are at an all time high, which means that literally everything you buy...in a store or online...costs more.
