U.S. All Grades All Formulations Retail Gasoline Prices (Dollars per Gallon)

Your gas budget ought to be really used to it by now

And your voting habits would have just ensured it stayed high

Jesus take the wheel

Biden didn't campaign on getting gas under 2 dollars

Trump says if elected president he’ll get gas prices under $2 a gallon. Is that possible?

Would that apply to California gas prices too?

Gonna take a step back and offer up a “my bad” on sounding like I was defending the Biden economy by talking about COVID. But the price of gas did drop under his Presidency from the extreme highs of the pandemic. It’s perfectly valid to say that Biden did not do well at curbing inflation during his term and it is a big reason why we saw the outcome we did in 2024. But Trump’s war is absolutely specifically affecting my wallet right this moment, and it doesn’t much matter if other countries are affected relatively more than us when judging the domestic impact of the war with Iran.
