With the Strait of Hormuz still closed and Trump bumbling the negotiations, it's only going to get worse...

What did Biden do or not do to raise prices on an international commodity?

It is clear what Trump just did in the last month to singlehandedly (well, holding hands with Netanyahu is more accurate) jack up prices. And they're not done rising, and we haven't even depleted our reserves yet.

Yeah... Biden depleted the reserves and libs said nothing... LOL

Plus shutting down that pipeline Trump wanted to get built.

Trump made his decision either based on the knowledge of our oil reserves and that Iran might close the Straits, oblivious to it, or recklessly ahead regardless though.

His policies on domestic drilling, refining and exploration drove the prices upwards of $7.50 per.
Duh

I appreciate you taking the time to make up numbers.

Not made up.
Quit gaslighting

"The highest gas prices in the last 10 years occurred in June 2022, when the U.S. national average reached approximately $5.01 per gallon." Maybe higher in some states due to their taxes like California or if a place was gouging due to convenience. https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/livestory/us-israel-iran-war-9.7134369

You are using a “national average”…
In California, they were upwards of $7.50 per.
Not every day. Not every year. But price did reach above $7.50, even higher if you used premium.
You claim to be an OTR trucker… you should know these things. And you do, you just insist on gaslighting. It’s what you do!

Please find where I said I was a trucker. You are jumbling up a few people in your head.

If you want to talk California, gas prices today average $5.82/gallon (versus $3.62/gallon in Texas) via AAA. Are you blaming Biden for gas in California being more expensive in the rest of the country? Are you cherry picking?

And if you are a republican in California under Newsome, I could see why you are getting unhinged.

No… we all know who you are, Octavia.
You kept telling us back when the second half of your username was a “tune”, if you will, that you were an OTR truck driver.

I blame California’s taxes and energy prices on their high prices, along with Biden’s energy policies. Not cherry picking at all.

Not a citizen of California. I’ve never been there and have had zero desire to ever go there. There is nothing unhinged about me.

So diesel is higher in California than it's ever been, and it's 50 cents away from the 2022 numbers and climbing. And you're even more unhinged than you were in 2022.

Yeah, sure miss those good old days when all you guys were crediting him, and celebrating when it WAS under $2.

Still over a buck less than the best times under Geritol Joe.

Are prices stabilizing or coming down yet? They seem to keep going up, so it's a bit early to make a statement.

Also "Geritol Joe" isn't the one shown falling asleep in meetings. Trump besides relieving himself no where near the bathroom can't functionally stay alert during important things.

The average price in California (where that photo was taken) is now 50 cents below the current average there and it's climbing every day. Diesel has surpassed that 2022 high. And those numbers were due to Russia-Ukraine and not a war that the Republicans pushed through without approval from Congress or consulting with NATO.

No… he did achieve it. In my neck of the woods, the price got down to $1.89 per.

Gee. . .it's like it isn't just a president's decisions, good or bad, isn't the only decider on gas prices. . .like say how governors make their decisions, good or bad, that can also affect prices at the pump and hits closer to home.

Exactly precisely

It’s been 24hours the straight is open again. This play by play score keeping is short sighted at best.

Oh nooooo’ Iran launched another missile. The tide is turning again.

Open but not for Iran's enemies though. So not really.
