Trump burning through our Strategic Oil Reserve as fast as he possibly can just to try and keep gas prices under $5 .

As we have noted, the price of gas varies from state to state due to distribution costs, local taxes and other factors. But now every state has crossed the $4/gal. threshold. According to GasBuddy.com, the national average is $4.55/gal, up 53% since the war in Iran started.

Here is a heat map from GasBuddy.com showing prices around the country:

As you can see, It is cheapest in the South, where most of the oil is drilled and refined and where taxes are low. It is most expensive in the interior West and especially the far West, but also in parts of the Upper Midwest and Northeast.

Trump doesn't care. Gas prices are just peanuts to him. He said so himself.

Didn't MAGA say that they'd just do without gas? Doesn't that solve it?

MAGA says it's worth paying extra for gas, to bring down Iran.

MAGA is always happy to pay extra, if it means hurting the people who need to get hurt.
