Gas has gone up 9 cents/gallon since that man took office.

[mahina]

Are gas prices changing where you are? If so, by how much?

Do you know why?

Regular unleaded has gone from 2.99/gallon to 3.05 and yesterday it's now 3.09.

GRRRR

[Sherman A1]

1. It's jumped more than that

Here, but it always does goofy gyrations here.

2. By no means giving him cover, but a lot of States raised their gas tax

[Kingofalldems]

4. 7 states have raised gas taxes as of 1/1/2017, yeoman6987. That's not 'a lot' as you put it.

Fake news from you.

This is real news:

That is hardly enough to drive up prices nationwide.

You in fact ARE giving him cover in my opinion.

9. Your definition of "a lot" is... most convenient

Your definition of "a lot" is... most convenient to particular narratives.

3. And expect it to keep going up

Democrats took oil execs to task, I remember when one oil exec lied about not being on Cheney energy task force and there was talk about further investigations... the price of oil and gas dropped.

Now without someone to keep them in check, without someone to call them out when they make lame excuses like "But the environmentalists are being mean to us multinational corporations with senators on speed dial... and THAT is why we are forced to make gas so expensive", this just means they are free to make gas as expensive as they want.

Great job, Trump voters.

5. I've noticed that. At least prices dipped slightly during Obama's term.

[A HERETIC I AM]

16. Slightly?

In the last 2 years it has fallen by 50%!

From near $100 to around $50 a barrel

Is that slightly?

[Ms. Toad]

6. Down considerably here

$1.75 this morning ($1.73 in a few places not on my route in).

Gas prices are not stable enough to judge based on a few days. You have to take the average over time. Within the same time frame, gas has also been $2.03 at the same stations.

[asuhornets]

7. Yep. I'm in Atlanta. 2.15/regular and 2.79 supreme...n/t

[rsdsharp]

8. I'm not defending Trump by any means

but in the Des Moines area, prices have fallen a few cents in the last three weeks, and 12 cents a gallon since New Years.

[rsdsharp]

17. As a follow up

Gas went up 15 cent a gallon overnight.

[FSogol]

10. Grifters gotta grift.

The mild winter means they should be going down.

[dixiegrrrrl]

11. $1.98 here in rural Ala.

State average is $2.05

Currently LOWER that the $2.25 when I filled up the car in July, ( the car I don't drive very much at all anymore).

[Spider Jerusalem]

12. Needs to go up by two or three bucks a gallon

since it's the only way to limit the amount of damage done in terms of emissions and such what with his administration's idiotic denial of science on climate change.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

13. To be fair, gas prices are never a reliable indicator of economic health.

They've been low at times when our economy is in good shape and low when our economy is in the dumps.

I exclude gas prices as a barometer of how well economic policies are being implemented in the country. There are just too many variables.

That being said, if gas prices are high, people do tend to get upset, and they'll blame the president, even if he has nothing to do with them.

[gladium et scutum]

14. Dropped 6 cents a gallon in the last week

current price at nearest station is $1.95 per gallon. This is in Hampton, Virginia

[xor]

15. Not really. For the past few years the gas prices near me have stayed between $1.70 - $2.10

Mostly hanging out in the $1.70's and $1.80's. Right now it's about $1.75ish. Last month it went up into the $2 range but dropped back down. I actually thought was going to be the start of it rising up again because I recall something about an OPEC deal to cut back on production.
