Another failure.

Don't know where they're looking in TX but I paid 2.07 today at SUNOCO. That's pretty close to 2 bucks.

Good to finally see candycorny and most of the Left acknowledging Trumps successes and the wonderful way he's turning this country around for the better for ALL.

You are upside down by $150+ per year with Trump energy prices:

An American uses roughly 350 to 380 gallons of gasoline per year on average

$0.30 X 350 gallons = $105 per year. What an amazing windfall of money.

NOW

An American is paying 9.6% more for utilities this year OR $265 MORE per year (vs. 2024), with electricity bills up about 13% on average nationally.

$105 -$ 265 = -$165 uh oh.

What is the OP referring to the average in that one particular Texas gas station or the national average last time I checked there are more than one gas station in the United States.

Then you would need to discount State taxes to get an apples to apples comparison. Some States rip their folks off a lot more than others. BTW my next fill up was at Murphy Express, I paid 2.08 there.

You didn’t answer my question. National versus local. What was the OP referring to?

Perhaps you should read the first sentence of my post again. You can't compare a State with 9 cents a gallon vs. one with 71 cents and call it anywhere close to accurate.

Comparing 2025 Gas Taxes by State

California levies the highest tax on gasoline at 70.9 cents per gallon (cpg), followed by Illinois at 66.4 cpg and Washington at 59.0 cpg.

Then you will discount taxes during the Biden administration too. Correct?

Sure, I'm no hypocrite. It only takes a few really high tax States to drive up the average for the whole country. They should use the pretax wholesale price to get an accurate picture. Oh, a State like NJ drives up the average because the don't allow self service pumping, that drives up the price as well.

And here’s more apples versus apples. When Trump made the two dollar promise, was he talking about a situation in which taxes don’t exist?

So far, you’re the only person in this planet that I’ve seen concoct such a hypothetical when talking about a promise by Trump regarding gas prices.

Since Trump‘s promise considered taxes, to convert the promise to a tax-free country we would have to pretend taxes don’t exist. So we would have to assume he promised $1 gas in your tax-free world. Apples versus apples.

I don't think he was referring to places like CA and IL where they rip their citizens off.
