And they will stay above that if he has anything to do with it.

Still dead cheap.

Here in the Canary Islands (Spain) it’s 5,10 - 5,50 $, in Germany around 9,40 $ per gallon…

Much of this is taxes, though. Also to nudge people towards driving less, use public transport or buy electric vehicles.

About time to move away from oil and gas…

So never.

In a way this is good, so people won't forget this issue before November.

Typical gaslighting, everyone knows that it will never come back down, because they want everyone to take it up the rump for Trump by paying out their nose for everything.

I hope trump and the Republican party learns just how much the median US voter cares about gas prices.

by then $3 will be worth $1

Why would they? The Strait is still closed right now, is it not?

Oil just jumped 7% in the past hour.

Better for climate change to have gas prices rise more honestly.

Or ever. Every time prices on anything go up, they might go back down some when whatever excuse was given to jack them up goes away but they never go back to what they initially were.

There's been so much inflation that $3/gallon would be really cheap, even for gasoline in the US, by the standards of the last 20 years or so. A very arbitrary number to get stuck on.

US Average Gasoline Price Adjusted for Inflation

$4/gallon just isn't that high, not much out of line with the last ~15 years.

I think higher fuel prices could be the impetus for quite a lot of alternative energy, alternative transport, and electrification investment. I think if you believe that free markets work, you'd really have to agree.

The only savings grace to these high gas prices, is if they remain high till November then democrats will sweep midterms.

One step at a time, man. It's not exactly a guarantee that prices get back under FOUR dollars a gallon in 2026 first.

And the gas cos will be so proud of their record profits.

When it gets to 2027 they'll manage to bring the price down, right in time for his third run.

That is if dems take the congress and start impeachment and removal proceedings for all from the top down including the supreme court
