    Gas stations in Washington reprogram pumps to prepare for $10-a-gallon fuel as Bidenflation sends average price soaring to $4.57 - almost twice the $2.41 during Trump's final month

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...n-reprogram-pumps-prepare-10-gallon-fuel.html

    HYPERLINK has full article

    snip


    • A national gas station chain is reprogramming its pumps in Washington state to accommodate the possibility of $10-a-gallon gasoline
    • The average price of gasoline across the country reached $4.57 on Wednesday - almost twice the $2.41 average during Trump's last month in office
    • Other stations in the state have begun running out of gas, with a local Facebook group identifying 10 stations that have run out of fuel
    • Meanwhile some states - such as California - are reporting spiraling prices of up to $5.98 this week

    end snip

    2 way to look at I guess.

    First- did anyone ever think this possible when we were paying south of $3 per gallon for PREMIUM just a short time ago?

    Second- this could be a new cottage industry thanks to Democrat voters. Specialists who program gas and diesel pumps to handle the outrageous cost of fuel.

    4 years of Trump has consequences

    Trump wanted prices higher, now we got it, thanks Trump, he was right, this is GREAT for the oil and gas industry, course it SUCKS for consumers

    Trump lowered supply during Covid, now that demand is picking up, supply is not there

    do you know why gas prices are high, hint, Covid and reduced supply overseas

    not Biden or Trump

    that said, Trump wanted to reduce supply during covid to raise prices, that is just fact

    You've been corrected on this repeatedly, and I'm not going to waste my time with you again on this except to say that the fact that you spread this without giving the whole story shows your desperation to deflect from this disastrous administration you helped vote in.

    You know the truth behind that situation and any president with our country's best interest in mind would have done that same. Biden would not have. He would have let the economy suffer and collapse............ kind of like he's doing now.

    and the ..... "but Trump" crowd never disappoints. They are attacking in any thread that shows the disaster we are dealing with now. It's almost entertaining.

    I posted facts, but your right, there has been many many many many threads on this topic, I have posted the facts in each one

    American oil companies do not have to charge Americans the global exchange price... they choose too

    Republicans forgot to say that American oil doesn't mean cheaper oil

    Yes, gas is $0.46 higher per gallon currently than in 2008. Oh the horrors! Guess I can't get that extra Venti espresso this week. LOL

    True.

    Trump gave us one of the best economies we have ever had.

    Voting brandon came with the consequence of a recession and dead soldiers.

    Well in reality the only way Covid and reduced overseas supply can make that kind of a difference on us is when our government and politicians limit our own production of oil in our own territories. You know like shutting down pipelines and outlawing drilling in locations where the likelihood of deposits are greater, all in order to save the planet and limit greenhouse gasses, which is a bunch of BS when you look at the lesser production conditions and the violent inhumane personalities of where our overseas supply comes from instead....

    Sign of a true liberal. Let the American families suffer and then mock their suffering.

    I may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, despite my masters in finance, but that's a bad thing right?

    Trump et al had to stabilize the market - and what they did at that time was needed and successful and not why oil is $110+ now

    Yes, it's a recipe for collapsing the economy. Trump had production slowed so the price would come up. However, a certain member here uses that as "facts" to show Trump is the one who made the gas prices skyrocket. He repeats it every chance he gets even though he knows it was a desperate time for our country when covid first struck.

    You realize that’s after he made us independent of those countries for oil right?
