Thread 939687909

gas prices went up $0.20 in the past week in southern arizona. gas prices are higher now than when biden let office. whatever happened to "day 1 prices will drop so fast our heads will spin"? was that simply a lie to fool people?

>>939687909 (OP)
trump is a compromised pedo

you think someone would really do that? just win the presidency and start telling lies?

>>939687909 (OP)
Sucks to live in a liberal state. Prices are down 35c here lol.

>>939688037
Gas prices have gone up 2% nationwide since Trump took office. Red states have been affected as well, moron.

>>939687909 (OP)
Another pedocrat moron. Gas prices always spike around Labor day.

>>939687909 (OP)
Here in GA, it's been $2.75 for the last several months. It went up to $2.89 for like, two days, but then it came back down. Seems pretty stable, even on the more affluent side of town (which I go to twice a week).

>>939688133
Not where I live :)

>>939687909 (OP)
>gas prices are higher now than when biden let office
gas prices have gone up by about $0.13/gal since Biden left office and currently stand at about $3.19
this is easily explained by seasonal fluctuations in gas prices
the average cost of a gallon of gas peaked at $5.02/gal under Biden in June 2022

In Florida the prices jump $0.30-0.40 weekly. It will go down toward the weekend then by Monday or Tuesday it jumps back up. Prices have never gotten cheaper here.

Lying sacks of pedocrat shit.

"Gas prices in the U.S. have seen a significant year-over-year decline, with the August 2025 national average around $3.14 per gallon, down from $3.44 in August 2024, and forecasts suggest a further drop in 2025 due to lower oil prices. While 2024 saw prices decrease from a peak in the spring to a low in the winter, the trend in 2025 has been lower overall, though monthly fluctuations are possible due to regional supply, refinery issues, or geopolitical events"

Youre a jew arent you? A slimy hooknose creature looking for a carcass to devour

Define "here" and let's see how much you are lying.

>>939687909 (OP)
Good, fuck Arizona.

>>939688223
Taken directly from chatgpt (including sources).

What the Data Shows:

In January 2025, the average U.S. price for a gallon of regular gasoline was about $3.08
Bureau of Transportation Statistics
+2
AAA Fuel Prices
+2

By recent months, gas has been slightly higher than that baseline—depending on region and market conditions. For example, data from mid-2025 shows averages ranging around $3.10–$3.30 in many places.
WalletHub
+2
YCharts
+2

Some outlets have noted that while gas prices are falling from peak highs (especially during 2022–2023), they are still somewhat above what they were at the very beginning of 2025

I hate you people so much it's unreal

You hate yourself. You just skipped over all of 2024.

>>939688365
I said they've gone up since Trump took office, WHICH THEY FUCKING HAVE, YOU STUPID MOTHERFUCKING MAGANIGGER

>>939688402
You lied. That makes you the nigger.

seasonal fluctuation

Holy shit you're literally retarded lol

>>939688520
In which case the "season" is December through September?

>>939688402
More democrat lies.

>>939688520
Right, right, it's always "seasonal fluctuation", but only when it's a Republican in charge

sucks for you nigger mine went down over 20

>>939688706
Then you were fucking blind while Biden was president, LMAO!!!!!

>>939688566
What did you expect?

>>939688276
he said he was going to lower prices starting on day 1. inflation is up and things aren't any cheaper. do you even read any news? tik tok and fox news don't count.

>>939687958
This 1000% unfortunately, the memes were funny this board during the 2016 election was something special and he really felt like MY GUY! OUR GUY!! But now he just feels like every other do nothing poltician, he's going after the dumbest fucking shit while the common people on both sides suffer the hardest and it's fucked up I don't think I'm ever gonna vote red again or atleast do thorough OSINT before choosing a candidate to follow because what the fuck is our country even right now???? are we a democracy or a softcore facist dictatorship? Only time will tell.

>>939688753
I expected you libshits to screech and provide zero facts and evidence or any links or graphs.

Cool, but gas prices were lower when Trump took office.

Lol the more you post, the dumber and more dishonest you look, you stupid faggot

>>939688807
You keep moving the goalposts every time you are proven wrong.

Are you jewish? Thats what the jewish people do. They cant admit to being wrong even when you rub their jew noses in proof.

>>939688777
And behold, someone already provided facts that you're conveniently choosing to ignore like a good little magaweenie.

See: >>939688319

>>939688777
The facts are gas prices are up.

>>939688822
They were higher when Biden was in office. Thanks for confirming that I was right.

>>939688844
You don't know what those words mean. This site is 18+

>>939688860
Cool story bro. But again you're wrong and I've already proven it.

>>939688722

>>939688869
They were on the decline until Trump took office.

Honest question: are you mentally handicapped or just a typical dishonest magat? Please answer honestly.

>>939688890
Cry more. You lost the debate. Gas prices are down 5% and I've already posted proof.

Lets look at your pedocrat party ratings. Also waaay down. LMAO!!!!

The loser is you. Cope harder, faggot.

>>939687909 (OP)
>southern arizona

>>939688891
Whining won't change reality. Gas prices have gone up steadily since Trump has taken office. I have to drive 30 miles to get gas cheaper than $3.80

>>939688938
>bro, gas prices are way up since Clinton
>that means Clinton was a bad president
This is how fucking dumb you sound.

>>939688957
Cool story bro.

>>939688938
You are having a melty

>>939688634
no, in 2024 during Biden's presidency, gas prices increased from January into spring and summer, then went back down due to seasonal fluctuations
i can admit that because unlike you, i'm not a braindead NPC stuck on the two party plantation

>>939688986
Whatever you need to tell yourself so you can feel like you've won something.

>>939688974
It really isn't. You'll learn when you grow up and have to start paying for things.

>>939689008
Say that in the mirror and see if something clicks

>>939688992
Ok, cool. Still doesn't change the fact that GAS PRICES HAVE GONE UP SINCE TRUMP TOOK OFFICE, therefore your "seasonal fluctuation" argument is kinda falling flat since the fluctuation that you're referring to usually includes gas prices DECREASING.

>>939687909 (OP)
why do you retards pretend like the gas and oil industry is owned and run by the US government, and not a global private industry?

>>939688706
then you weren't in the United States
i was in Oklahoma in 2022, which usually has the lowest gas prices in the country, and the shittiest ethanol laced gas was over $4.75/gal
decent gas with no government-subsidized corn juice in it was well over $5

>>939688773
>every other do nothing poltician
>I don't think I'm ever gonna vote red again

Blue isn't on your side.
Stop getting brainwashed by political propaganda.

>>939689077
It's honestly easier that way.

>>939689063
gas prices usually go up from January to summer, not down
+$0.13/gal is a totally unsurprising seasonal flucutation

>>939689102
I was in Utah. How badly did your politicians fuck up that your gas went over $4.00? Sounds like you should stop voting for them.

>>939689077
you think that the energy policies of the largest economy on Earth, with the 3rd largest population on Earth, which is itself a major producer and refiner of oil has no effect on the industry and prices?
did your mother have any children who lived?

>>939689150
I thought they were supposed to go down so fast my head would spin?

>>939689200
>has no effect
not the point of they can just dictate prices at the pump, that's not how markets work

>>939689150
Omfg dude

Read carefully: during a time when gas prices are supposed to be trending down (as in, right the fuck now), they're actually INCREASING.

>>939689196
the average price of a gallon of gas in Utah in July 2022 was $5.25, higher than the national average of $5.02
you are a liar and a fool

>>939689214
no idea what you're talking about
>>939689238
>not the point of they can just dictate prices at the pump, that's not how markets work
nobody said it was
>>939689240
the issue under discussion is why gas prices are higher now than they were in January
and the reason is seasonal fluctuation

>>939689240
Seasonal fluctuations due to market conditions and geopolitical considerations.

Also still 5% down compared to last year and yes I already posted proof that you keep ignoring, LMAO!!!!

>>939689398
>the issue under discussion is why gas prices are higher now than they were in January
No, this is what you moved the goalposts to because you're a dishonest cunt.

Me: gas prices are higher than when Trump took office.
>You: *shows outdated, cherrypicked charts*
Me: *provides evidence showing that gas prices went up since Trump took office*
You: yeah, well, it's just seasonal flux
Me: gas prices should be decreasing right now due to seasonal fluctuation
You: the issue is whether they're higher than they were in January

You are big dumb gay asshole, and I hope you realize it eventually.

>>939689470
You've been thoroughly btfo. It's time to throw in the towel, magat. Just exit the thread and go fap to weird pics of your dear leader as Superman or whatever.

>>939689566
>gas prices should be decreasing
do you know what a trend is?
markets have trends, they're not bound by laws of the universe to follow those, they have ups and downs, and can vary greatly based on policies and world events

>>939689240
>>939689214
>>939689063

>>939689676
Your entire argument for why gas prices have gone up under Trump hinged on the market fluctuation, which usually involves gas prices going down during this time of year (which they are not).

Just stop, dude. It's enough.

it is trending down as part of SEASONAL FLUCTUATION, you fucking twit

>>939690131
Where's the guy from Utah? He's pretty quiet now lol

>>939690366
Ok, so he didn't follow through on his promise to immediately bring gas prices down. Instead, they've gone up. Cool. Glad we got that cleared up.

>>939690390
So, you're too dumb to read a graph. Got it

>>939690448

that's the moving average, midwit. look it up because i know you'll need to.

>>939690903
cherrypicking what? do you even know what a curve fit is? did you finish middleschool before dropping out?

>>939691007
it's a hand drawn scribble on a graph

>>939691056
>cherrypicking what?
I just told you. Is your memory as bad as your critical thinking skills?

Why not go with 8/24 instead of 8/26? Hmmmmmm, could it be because you belong to a cult and need to deprogram?

The fact is, gas prices are trending UP during a time when they should be trending DOWN.

>>939691151
>they should be
that's not how trends work
you're also trying build some kind of broader argument about market pricing based on a couple of weeks
like I said, you're the type of retard that thinks weather and climate are the same thing

>>939691313
>that's not how trends work
That's exactly how trends work. Trends are trends because they're expected to follow similar patterns. Is it guaranteed? No. But that's kinda beside the point here.

Your whole defense of daddy Donny was based on seasonal trends, so don't bitch and moan whenever someone points out the fact that things aren't currently following a trend that suits your defense.

>>939690759
ho lee shit!
you're the dumbest no brain nigger retard on the planet!
cut your balls off now, we don't need 70 IQ nigger cattle like you reproducing!!!!!

>>939691399
>Trends are trends because they're expected to follow similar patterns.
trends are based on previous observations, nothing is obligated to follow those trends in the future, not every year is the same
you're so retarded that you think the past trends dictate the current market , and not the other way around, that the cart leads the horse
by your reasoning markets shouldn't have crashed during covid because it didn't happen the year prior, so it's not allowed

>>939691513
Lmao

Typical patterns:
June–July: Prices often peak (summer travel demand + expensive summer blend fuel).
August–September: Prices begin to ease as summer driving season ends and refineries start switching back to the cheaper winter blend of gasoline.

How long you wanna keep this up, magat?

>>939691549
>trends are based on previous observations, nothing is obligated to follow those trends in the future, not every year is the same
In other words... pretty much what I just said.

Neat!
Now could you draw a trendline from Donald Trump's inauguration date to today using this chart? >>939688298
That should answer once and for all whether prices have risen or fallen during his administration.

>>939688941
right. trump said prices would drop and we are still waiting. it seems like he just made up gigantic lies to trick people to vote for him because he was going to lose because of all his baggage.

>>939687909 (OP)
Gas prices fluctuate all the time, retard. They were consistently over $4/gal during Biden. And grocery store rewards points went away during the coof but they're back now. I routinely get an extra $0.50 off per gallon.

>>939691755
>I routinely get an extra $0.50 off per gallon.
then you're fat as fuck and eat 4000 calories a day because it's typically $0.10 off for every $100 spent. the fact that you pay so much for groceries is another indication that trump lied because grocery prices are through the roof now. worse than biden.

>>939691679
no, you're saying the current data has to follow the trend it did before
it absolutely does not
and over a long enough time line, trends are generally much broader with varying levels of fluctuations, and there's a non-zero number of outliers, because nothing is constant
I really hope you don't gamble for money, you'd be very bad at it

>>939691817
>a politician lied
what are you going to do about it?

>>939691822
>no, you're saying the current data has to follow the trend it did before
No I'm not. You're just too retarded to see that I'm actually agreeing with you on something.

Here's the bottom line:
>Trump promises to bring gas prices down
>they've actually increased since he took office
>part of the increase is due to seasonal trends, but the prices over the past 2 months are actually underperforming the trend (which, notably, harms your defense).

Bottom line #2: you should be ashamed of yourself for shilling for the most corrupt, lying sack of shit to ever pollute the oval office.

>>939691947
what Trump promised to do while campaigning is irrelevant to what the market does
and I've never shilled for any politician, I don't worship either side, I don't play "teams" or "sides"
you're just angry that you hate Trump, which is your own problem and not mine

>>939692282
Yeah, whatever you say, Mr. Centrist.

>you're just angry that you hate Trump, which is your own problem and not mine
No, I'm angry that a bunch of easily manipulated buffoons fell for Trump's bullshit. And here we are, with higher gas prices, rising inflation, flat wages, and child sex crimes being covered up because Trump was involved in them.

>>939687909 (OP)

I never believed that but I do love seeing libtards shit themselves about it as if it changes anything. Trump won, you lost

>>939688223
This dude doesn't even have a driver's license.

>>939692447
>fell for Trump's bullshit.
what did they fall for? his supporters got what they wanted
you think any of them would have changed their vote? are you that retarded?
how many times have you reposted the "fell for it again" meme on the internet thinking you did something?

>>939692724
>his supporters got what they wanted
you think any of them would have changed their vote?
According to exit polls, the second most important issue for voters was the economy, so it would be pretty moronic to say they got what they wanted in that regard. Hilariously, the most important issue was the state of Democracy - and unless they were voting to destroy democracy and establish a right-wing authoritarian state, it's safe to say they didn't get what they wanted in that regard either.

Not to interrupt this sad sack of conversation, but it's evident that prices of everything have soared because food/gas/material producers seeing a chance to hike prices during and shortly after COVID, and they did. We're fucked because of capitalism. Change my mind. Seriously, please try, because I feel like I'm going crazy.

>>939692883
>seeing a chance to hike prices during and shortly after COVID, and they did
and they saw record profits, and people kept buying it anyway, so they just kept the prices there

>>939692883
That's a big part of it. Tariffs also need to be taken into consideration.

>>939692915
Yaaarp. I've seen enough food production. Production in general. You set the price at what you think people will buy.
