Gas prices $2.60 near me - Righty narratives flop

[struth]

You mean the low oil prices Obama handed off to Trump?

Obama had higher gas prices then trump. Granted they were lower then harris and xiden.

 

[struth]

Record highs came in 2008 over the banking debacle. Since the stock markets collapsed, hedge funds ran up oil prices.

They hit $147 a barrel. I'll have to look but I think oil might have briefly hit $100 under Biden.

Record highs came under harris and xiden. They were worse on the economy then the banking crisis

 

[pknopp]

There was low oil prices before Covid

They were not that far off from where they are now.

July of 2018 oil was $86. Today it's $71.

Fuel prices went up from when Trump took office until Covid collapsed the prices.

We are coming out of the harris/xiden pandemic

The avg price of gas was lower under trump then Obama

Always moving the goal posts. Covid collapsed prices.

No it didn’t. Trump maintained the fuel economy

I moved no goal post.

Does current inflation being lower negate the higher inflation earlier?

Hint: No.

Does the $2.72 gas under trump in 2018 count?
Or only the $2 gas during COVID in 2020.

It works both ways.

 

[Winco]

The avg price of gas was lower under trump then Obama

Obama had gas down to $2.14 in 2016, then price of gas ROSE under trump.

Oh, then COVID hit........ That's the way trump had lower gas prices......COVID

The graphs don't lie.

Are you actually trying to say that COVID had no effect on low gas prices in April 2020, and a few months later?

FACTS for You: During COVID, demand for gas went way down, thus Supply was greater than Demand, and now go check an Econ101 textbook.

Thats not what I said

 

[ColonelAngus]

I agree with OP.

Kamala is going to win because of gas prices being so low.

Avg price of gas was higher under Obama. He had gas prices well over 3/ gallon most the time he was in office

Why did gas go from $2.14 in 2016 under Obama's last year, and RISE to $2.72 in 2018 under trump?

Or is this ^^^^^ a Lie?
The Graph LIES........LOLLOOLLLOOLLL

Explain or justify WHY gas rose 27% from 2016 to 2018.
Can you do that without 'Moving the GoalPosts'

No it didn’t. Trump maintained the fuel economy

I moved no goal post.

Yes you did.

Yes you did.

Who said it was a lie? I didn’t. Fuel prices shifting 50 cents up or down over a couple years is nothing

The real question is why did it go up to nearly four dollars a gallon under harris and xiden?

 

[j-mac]

As we select the next President today lets all thank Joe for low gas prices.

• Guess it wasn’t the keystone pipeline
• Guess Joe didn’t destroy the oil industry
• Guess fuel prices didnt drive up inflation since they are so low now and prices are still up there

Looks like every single narrative of the right wing liars has fallen on its proverbial face.

You live at the head of a pipeline dummy....Your gas is about .30, to .40 cents cheaper than say, someone from the midwest....

An over reaction to the over reaction that caused them to drop so low. We need to get the hedge funds out of the markets.

Huh? Hedge funds made gas prices over four dollars when harris and xiden took office??

What a weird thing to say

It has been explained MANY times.

OPEC+, the oil deal trumped signed where the Foreign oil production was reduced, then when Demand went up after COVID, supply was LOWER than during COVID.
