Gas prices (yes another thread on them)
Posted on 8/18/26 at 11:02 am

Doing some valuation research this morning I came across an interesting graph putting historical gas prices in today’s dollars.
Today’s $4+ a gallon (in today’s dollars) compare to be pretty average to low compared to most of the time since 2004.
Hopefully this works
Scroll down to the green line chart. Granted this is work put out by Kroll and Duff & Phelps so someone will doubt its accuracy but if you ever bought and sold companies you know their data is solid.

Because of politics with midterms approaching. For some reason, Americans expect gasoline not to go up in price, despite everything else naturally going up in price, from cars themselves to lumber for building a fence.

Sign up for Chevron app and they'll give you $1 off per gallon for 5 fill ups. Expires after 90 days or so, but you still get rewards pts when you purchase.
I've used 2 so far and saved about $40.

But we can also thank the Trump-Biden combo for the inflation we are experiencing, so….

Biden just did it straight from policy to kill gas vehicles and to promote his cronies in the electric sector. Was a total grift out in the op, but we were told to do it for Ukraine.

Presidents don't have a lot of control over gas prices, until they do something so dopey that all of a sudden they do.

Speaking of gas prices, the prices in my area shot up overnight from the upper $3.30’s/low $3.40’s to $3.79.

until they do something so dopey that all of a sudden they do.
Both sides are waiting thru around NOV/DEC. Trump thinks over the next few months Iran will be broke into submission since they can pay their bills. Only customer they have is Chyna, and they are looking for other options.
Iran is trying to wait out the midterms, thinking if Dems win that'll change things. They don't understand that what Trump is doing to them can't be easily stopped by a dem Congress. They can complain and whine in impeachments, but he'll be able to tighten the noose even more once it's over.
Imo a termed out Trump on his last years can be the most dangerous for the Dems

Ours has been crazy fluctuations up and down for months now. Every single week.

Painful right now. Even at 25 mpg. If it weren’t for two huge road trips this summer I wouldn’t care.

The problem is historical doesn't mean shite when Trump shows you that we are able to get gas prices down to sub $3 natl average if we want to.
However, he then chooses to frick the American people by going into Iran and driving them up to over $4 for the past 6 months.
The man is his own worst enemy. Self inflicted bullshite.

The vast majority of the is exported to Europe. IT's been tits on a boar hog for over a decade if not 4 decades.
