The gasoline price panic

[Zincwarrior]

Not from Trump.

Blah blah. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

Price of diesel in my area today:

Top highest prices as of today (3/19/26)

$5.19
$4.99
$4.95
$4.94

We deliver supplies using an International box truck. We're likely going to have to start charging an Israeli War surcharge to cover costs.

I honestly do want to know, for the folks that support Trump no matter what he does, how high does the price of gas have to be until you actually want him to inform that public of what, "winning," actually looks like.

I'm losing count of how many times he has declared victory, but the straight remains closed and Iranian assets continue to rain done on Israel and our gulf allies.

Diesel is likely the most important fuel of all. Trains and Semi require it. Just watch the prices of EVERYTHING blow up.

And we can put 100% of the blame on Vice President Trump and President Netanyahu.

It’s funny how a short spike in gas prices can spark such a frenzy on the left, while the same group supports permanently higher taxes. It's almost as if they are ok with somebody footing the bill as long as it isn't them.

That libs swore by to cripple America by end of last week. And then requested their posts deleted when the panic ruse failed .
What are the gas prices in your area? Around DC generally $3.27 to $3.59. That’s up some but the bloom faded fast on the panic bush push

It was about $5 in the summer of 2022.

OPEC+ brought to us by trump.
Haven't you learned anything?

It was Tod.

Trump's agreement with OPEC was to blame for Biden's inflation?

Poor Biden, too useless to do anything during his term.

$101 a barrel now. Inflation incoming. Fed is talking about rate HIKES to keep inflation down.
That means recession.

Right, trump agreed to OPEC+, this is a fact, a 2-year agreement to reduce production.
This agreement was a trap to **** trump over for his previous actions.
The Saudis were making so much money, that when biden asked them to increase production, they didn't.

Why wouldn’t the Saudis increase production when Biden asked?

Because doing so would:

1. Lower oil prices
2. Reduce their revenue
3. Break OPEC+ discipline
4. Undermine their long-term market control

---

Bottom line​

OPEC+ isn’t trying to maximize supply—it’s trying to manage scarcity for profit and stability.

And Saudi Arabia didn’t refuse the U.S. out of spite—they refused because:

What the U.S. wanted was economically against their interests.

 

[Concerned American]

You answered your own question

Supply and demand

When I work out the the sticks gas is at least 10 cents cheaper too

Not all S&D. In Spokane, regular is about $5/gal. Thirty miles away in Post Falls, ID, the price is about $1 cheaper. The reason is high WA fuel taxes and carbon taxes. ID is nearly identical to the national average.

Ok Bob. Inflation is up. Gas prices are up. We are burning almost a billion a day. Deficits are exploding.

Midterms are going to be awesome.

Inflation is 2.4 percent, irs down since Trump took office
