Prediction: When will AAA note gas is over $4 nationally? ($3.88 Today)

[Rawley]

If our former friends and former allies have to give in to our pressure and help us out of this, that might be pretty helpful on prices, although I'm not sure what they can add outside of mine-sweeping. I guess we'll find out.

It's so nice to be so powerful that we can just force our former friends and former allies to clean up our messes. We get to reward them with insults, threats, mockery, trolling, intimidation and extortion. Because we're bigger and they have to deal with it, LOL!

Punching down -- It makes us all "feel" very strong. How neat!

Hey TDSer, we get 2% of our oil out of the Hormuz strait. THey are helping themselves, not us.

How is Florida doing?

/----/
In Florida, the total state and local gas tax is not a single flat number because it varies by county. As of January 1, 2026, the state-level fuel tax rates were adjusted upward due to annual inflation indexing.

2026 Breakdown (Per Gallon)​

The total tax you pay at the pump typically ranges from $0.38 to $0.40 per gallon, plus the federal tax.

Answer was that Florida is one of the highest state gas levels in the US.

/-----/ As of March 2026, California remains the state with the highest gasoline tax in the U.S., with a total state tax rate of 70.9¢ per gallon. When combined with the federal excise tax ($0.184), California drivers pay nearly 90¢ per gallon in total taxes.
Most states with high gas taxes use formulas tied to inflation (the Consumer Price Index), which led to automatic increases in many states on January 1, 2026.

Top 10 States with the Highest Gas Taxes (2026)​

The following rates include all state excise taxes, sales taxes, and fees as of early 2026.

Rank	State	State Tax (¢/gal)	Total with Federal Tax (¢/gal)
1	California	70.9¢	89.3¢
2	Illinois	66.4¢	84.8¢

True, It was trumps OPEC+ deal.
You know, the 2 year deal that effected gas for months after trump left office.
FACT ^^^^^^^

Putting it all together​

By June 2022, all of these overlapped:

• Global oil shock (Ukraine war)
• Tight supply (low inventories + refinery limits)
• High demand (summer travel rebound)

That combination pushed the national average to about $5.01/gallon—the highest ever recorded by AAA.

Big picture impact on U.S. gas prices​

What OPEC+ DID​

• Prevented oil from staying cheap after 2020
• Contributed to 2021–2022 price surge
• Supported higher price floor in 2023

What OPEC+ DID NOT control alone​

U.S. gas prices also depend on:

• Domestic refining capacity
• Seasonal demand (summer spikes)
• U.S. shale production
• Geopolitics (like Ukraine war)

Yeah almost a year and a half after Biden got in, and it didn't go much further down his entire presidency. Even after he drained out emergency oil supply.

It’s not fake outrage. His actions are outrageous. Take Trump’s dick out of your mouth and stick it up your ass.

Gas was $3.10 when Trump took office. It was $3.05 when he attacked Iran. Your plummeting claim is bullshit. The cause of price increases under Biden was all related to Trump’s OPEC deal that cut oil by 9M barrels a day. Even though we increased ours under Biden that was the killer.

It was $3.10 because oil companies were ready to work with Trump. Gas will go down soon and you can stop your fake outrage.

It’s pathetic the best they can offer is clean up after the fact. Not very reliable allies are they.

Well. Place your bets. We are at $3.88. A "normal" March to June build is about 10% suggesting we will be $4.20 in June if nothing gets better or worse.

Why wait, you Democrats should celebrate higher gas prices on the poor and working class now you know you want to. Throw a party.
