Even Trump's own Energy Secretary admits his claim that gas price increases would be "short-term" is a lie.

Gas is now over $4 nationally, and $5.85 in California. Americans are paying the price for Trump's disastrous leadership.[image or embed]

I filled a rented 2025 F-150 XLR last weekend. 3/4 tank for $88, at a Bucees which tends to be on the lower end of the price spectrum. However, that was 670 miles of range on a full tank.

23 mpg average, Houston to San Antonio and back. Might have done a little better in eco mode but probably not much.

Picture that gas meter as Donald Trump sucking the ever-living soul out of you.

I think that most people already do.

Remember, as it says in The Book of Books: "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal." So, let it go, tomorrow's another day, fuhgedaboudit, two maybe three weeks it'll blow over. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

$4.06 in WNY. Usually don't let the tank drop below 1/2 so half a tank is $30 or so.

I've cut my speed on the highway and now average 34.6 MPG on my Subie.

Regular is up $1 and Diesel is up $1.60 here in rural Texas.

The rural boys are screaming all over the local Facebook groups. But none of them are mentioning Trump of course. Just begging for handouts.
