You were the one complaining that petroleum prices were too high because Biden had provided incentives to companies to shift to green sources of energy production causing American companies to reduce their exploration for and production of petroleum.
yeah... the "nothing to see here" commentary is hilarious after his "drill baby drill" posturing was going to lower everything. Don't you know how gas prices under Biden drove inflation everywhere?
Prices may not be at an all time high...but they're up a LOT this month. If you look year over year...it's basically in in the past month (few weeks...but data isn't that detailed).
In the county I live, AAA says these are the increases.

Diesel is the problem...especially worse for me since that's what I use.
I filled up on Wednesday for $3.39 less 5% cash back on my card for a net $3.22 per gallon.
Half what you are paying in California, everyday. Gas is still cheaper now than during Biden's administration when there was no war to blame it on.
You guys are funny. You bitch when gas is too low because it is slowing down the transition to renewables and then bitch when it is going up because you are too cheap to want to pay for it, even though it is still cheap relatively speaking. Except in California, of course. Then again, you love expensive gas because you still live in California and love your governor who brings you these extravagant prices which are only going higher since you lost another refinery, because of your governor, of course ...

You bitched pretty hard when gas prices and food prices rose during Biden's term. Now you're going to tell us all that everything is fine with Trump even though petroleum prices are spiking—as will food prices because this "in/excursion" is interfering with production of agricultural fertilizers.
I'm not sure whether you're a paid shill or just a guy with deep-seated issues and a crying need to be the contrarian in a room. Either way your unwavering pro-Trump bias disqualifies you from most serious conversations.
The issue isn't what you paid today...it's what you're going to pay tomorrow. There are consumer protection laws in most states that prevent price-gouging. The increased pricing hasn't made it's way through the system yet.
That said... as I type WTI is 78 cents shy of $100. You keep avoiding my questions. Yesterday you said it was all just hype, and that prices were coming down. China exports are up....Russian tarriffs are off... US consumers are now funding opportunities for those two, while our crackpot military can't seem to get ships out of the gulf.
What's going on? Let us in on the "big plan" that our POTUS has for this excursion.
So many straw men in there I think youâve earned âstraw army.â
The point is that trump, lying to his bumpkins, said âno warsâ and then a year later, put us into one (some want to call it an incursion, but he keeps mondegreening it into EXcursion),
and the consequence of that irrational unnecessary endangerment and deaths of our American soldiers and clumsy mistake killing more than a hundred children
and inflaming our enemies into making them more certain that they should destroy us
is that gas prices - completely because of his judgement - have skyrocketed UNNECESSARILY, mostly hurting the businesses and people who donât shit on golden toilets.
Don't forget burning through our supply of missiles and other ordinance that cannot be replaced at anywhere near the pace they're being used.

Barely two weeks into Trump's war with Iran, gas prices are surging â up an average 65 cents nationally.
Americans keep footing the bill for this failed president's incompetence.

The markets are actually pretty laid back all things considered, at least the US markets are. WTI is back down to a reasonable range under $90 a barrel and falling. Been under $85 already today.
Once again the predictions of market doom and gloom are exaggerated.
UPDATED:
Sorry to ruin the buzz.... but WTI is back over $95 $100.
Iranian exports to China have increased. The Strait of Hormuz is shut for everyone else.
Do we now try to cut off China and drag them into this?
AND... we've removed the sanctions on Russian oil.
I know this is all an overreaction... so please share with the class how the stable genius has this all under control. I'm trying to remain calm... but we don't seem to have much of a plan.
