Gas prices here are at 2.62 without a pandemic or a recession to drive them down. It was 2.78 here & shooting up when trump left.

Over $3 here except for a BP station which is about $2.80 but almost always out of gasoline. Sam's Club under $3 as well. Ames gasoline prices are manipulated.

Seems like this gets over talked.

World markets and global politics influence gas prices. China is in decline so oil prices drop. War in Ukraine/ Iraq/ Mars and prices go up.

If you're trying to pump up Biden/ Harris, they flubbed corona and flubbed Afghanistan. Their work in Israel over the last twelve months isn't impressive and the Biden admin wandering off and quitting the election could have been actually planned a little.

Goodbye Joe, God Bless, don't come back.

It gets "over talked"? It's a mainstay claim of the right wing that fuel prices were so low because of trump, which is of course pure folly. And saying Biden/Harris flubbed the pandemic after trump dismissed it as folly to begin with (like some in here did as well) is just stupid. Biden had to play the hand he was dealt by trump as far as Afghanistan & you know it. I don't see the Jews complaining about Biden's support of Israel, they know better than you or I about it. Pro Palestinian protests are not proof of Biden siding with Israel's sworn enemies. As president, he has a fine line to walk in the pursuit of de-escalation & has done as well as can be expected.

We sent a record amount of aid to Israel last year, the single largest recipient of US foreign aid in the post WWII area. If you ask me, it is past time the Israelis start paying for their own defense.

Amazing the way a pandemic and world wide lock down suppresses demand and lowers the price of gas at the pump.

$ 3.42 here. A long way from refineries I'm afraid.

We have a refinery close, but the gas is still way over $4, even at Costco. Diesel is $5+.

2.80 here for reg
Premium is 2.95
That is fair.

Tom,
That's due to cali special blend of fuels, which only 2 refineries make full time, both in Cali, highly taxed and regulated.. neither has the capacity to produce 100% of the daily fuel needs,so when one goes down for a turnaround, they have to tanker in fuel, in a special blend, that has really hard specs, making it very expensive to the consumer
