Gas prices: Continue to fall heading into the weekend
By

.

Gas prices continue to drop heading into the weekend, with an average price of $3.471 per gallon for regular-grade gas on Friday.

This was cheaper than yesterday’s price of $3.487 per gallon, according to AAA. The average cost for a gallon of regular-grade gasoline in the country has continued to drop since shortly before the Memorial Day weekend.

Three states now have an average gallon of regular-grade gasoline priced under $3. In Oklahoma, regular-grade gas costs $2.996 per gallon, and in Arkansas, it costs $2.991 per gallon. However, Mississippi remained the state with the cheapest gas in the nation on Thursday, coming in at $2.973 per gallon.

California remains the state with the most expensive gas in the country. However, after weeks of costing over $5 per gallon of regular gas, the state broke the $5 a gallon threshold for two days in a row, coming in at $4.96 on Friday. This is a decrease from yesterday’s price of $5.002 per gallon. A month ago, gas was $5.353 per gallon for regular-grade gas in the Golden State.

$1.79 9/10

That's the mark. That's what gas was here when these dirtbags took over in D.C.

Don't forget. Because of Biden's war on ICE powered vehicles, and the "fossil" fuel industries, everything has cost you more for the last years, and this is a driver of inflation for all else.

Totally not a coincidence...

The New York Times: Biden Administration Will Release 1 Million Barrels of Gasoline

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/05/22/icymi-biden-to-release-1-million-barrels-of-gasoline-to-reduce-prices-at-the-pump-ahead-of-july-4/#:~:text=The%20Biden%20administration%20announced%20on,of%20the%20July%204%20holiday.

Quote
The Biden administration announced on Tuesday that it would sell off one million barrels of gasoline over the coming weeks from a strategic reserve in the Northeast, a move it said was designed to keep gasoline prices in check for consumers ahead of the July 4 holiday.

[…] “This builds on other actions by President Biden to lower gas and energy costs — including historic releases from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and the largest-ever investment in clean energy,” Karine Jean-Pierre, the White House press secretary, said in a statement.

It's gone down since Memorial Day - I just paid $3.35.9, but had 30 cents per gallon worth of fuel points, so $3.05. Yesterday, we found a place in Ohio to fill up Mr. M's car at $3.16.9. Thanks, Joe Biden! You're the best!!

I saw $3.33 at a Shell station in Rockville, Maryland yesterday, so yeah, the prices are slightly dropping because of Biden raiding the reserve again.

Prices dropped that low due to lack of demand. Because some dumbass allowed the country to be shut down over a virus.

July Gasoline prices:

2020$2.08
2021$3.06
2022$4.30
2023$3.57

So why now is he suddenly interested in helping with gas prices?

Any energy price decline will be temporary and possibly engineered for the election.

Biden is anti anything that could reduce energy prices over the long term.

Yup

Oil was 40 bucks a barrel in September 2020

If you want to bring gas prices down to a dollar something a gallon , a good economic recession would do it along with bringing down inflation in general

Because our Joe is seeing the light of how high prices are hurting lower  income people. So from his compassion and empathy comes  a new policy

In a long career in the oil industry, I noticed oil prices tend to drop in election years. It got to be like musical chairs for service companies out there.
