    3.05 for my last fill, didn't feel stressed.

    When it was 4.50 my back started hurting a little bit.

    Presidents dont control gas prices.

    This was true under both Biden and Trump.

    Makes sense, the median household income for SF/SJ is over double Houstons. Gas might to income ratio might actually be cheaper there lol

    Yeah that's why I made sure to put "might", not sure what part of the bay area, and the median isn't every individual of course.

    As long as armageddon is very unlikely, then the big guy should use the reserve up. That $2.98 gas sealed trumps fate.

    There are a couple of gas stations in MN that have gas at under $3 a gallon.

    I think COVID and that Trump is widely disliked and corrupt sealed his fate.

    Look man. That 2.98 was just residual from OBAMA! Trump had yet to implement his Operation COVID plan to tank gas prices!

    Surely there is a local crime story from Chicago, California, or any DEM LED CITY reported by Fox News or NY Post that a microblogging youtube channel is picking up on to distract us from this?

    When was the last time we’ve actually had a president with real genuine cognitive ability? Part of the Democrats messaging problem is Biden is not really in charge …it’s a commitee approach behind the scenes … He needs cards on when to speak or sit and avoids questions or seems confused when it happens… I would say Trump had a great first three years and then his last year he fell through especially with Covid happening He’s not a person you can relate to and he’s certainly vile and corrupt to a large extent like many in the business of big business or politicians for that matter… I need to say that I actually miss the days of Obama when we had actual leadership somewhat and nonsensical ideas of defund the police and woke prevalence nonsense didn’t happen and better border constraints actually happened … This is how far the party politics has fallen in short order.
