In your head, is inflation a leading or lagging indicator, and by how much time?

So the latest direct attacks in the Ukraine Russia war on refineries did nothing to raise fuel prices?

Hmmm, Interesting logic

What crisis? Gas is still less than it was during your buddy Joe Biden's "presidency". Did Joe or one of his handlers address us then?


Average gas price price
September 2021- $3.18-$3.19

September 2022- $3.65-$3.78

September 2023- $3.88 and the average diesel price $4.49

September 2024- $3.22-$3.26
Average Diesel $3.56

September 2025- $3.17
Average diesel $3.75

Today average gas $4.47
Average diesel $6.50

A lot higher now than under Trump last year and diesel anytime under Biden

For inflation it might be comparable to the 70’s and 80’s

I think many people are going to stay home because they had enough of this nonsense. No reason why fuel should be this high during this administration. The R's are going to probably get smoked in the mid terms. Wait and see how much heating oil and the gas bill will be come winter.

I don’t believe Trump was in politics at that time.

RBOB Future quotes at the moment will keep prices over $3 for the next 12 months, gasoline should drop to the $3.50 range by Christmas and be around $3.10 by next September. Of course that could all change with one idiotic decision so I'd say he better say something.

The average Joe whose being pinched just cares about the why it's this high, and when it will come down.

I'd lay out the why, and what has to happen for it to drop.

Average gas price

January 2022 $3.30-$3.40
February 2022 Russia invades Ukraine
Overreaction by market
March $4.22
April $4.55
May $4.48-$5.03
June $5.01 (Diesel high $5.82)
July $4.32-$4.56
August $3.97
September $3.65-$3.78
October $3.80
November $3.54-$3.66
December $3.21-$3.45

It may take a year or more for the gas prices to correct themselves.

Really, I understand where you are coming from and I don't think there is a good answer. I know in this day & age: anything 'admitted to' is, then taken, reworded and out of context. It's then used in campaigns, on both sides.

If it helps at all, even with additional attacks from the Houthis to help the IRGC, Brent oil just dropped below $100. Alas, speculative pricing of oil, appears to be a black art.

And no, I realize this won't help diesel.

you're being disingenuous. You know as well as everyone else that you don't compare high points to high points, because fuel costs rise and fall based on times of the year. the correct comparison is annually by a specific month. he correctly showed all previous Septembers.

There comes a point where you just have to admit that this Iran was is crushing us with oil and gas prices. Now you can make the argument that it is worth it in the end, but arguing that it's not the highest price of all time is silly. The reality is that Biden caused high gas prices due to his policies, and Trump is causing them due to this war.

I did, and would again if I could. I am not downing him or the many great accomplishments of this administration that go unheralded. I just want the voters to hear the "why" as to not vote in anger, but to vote as an educated voterate.

Oh, so you're saying the prices go up and down. Now, imagine stability in the energy market causing a very low price due to the terror premium being eliminated. Now, imagine the billions of people worldwide with at least an additional $20 to spend.

Now you see why those who have been in charge for so long are scarit. They know their gig is up!!

In January 2000, when POTUS Trump left office, the average U.S. retail price for all grades of gasoline was $1.329 per gallon, while regular gasoline averaged $1.289 per gallon.

All Grades (Jan 2000): $1.329/gallon

Regular (Jan 2000): $1.289/gallon

These figures represent nominal prices; the 2000 average annual price of approximately $1.51–$1.52 is equivalent to roughly $2.93 in 2026 dollars due to the inflation during the Biden "presidency".
