1. Unfortunately, gas prices are up about 30+% from year ago. Fact that we have to deal with or ignore.

[tenderfoot]

2. And who is responsible for the price of gas?

[Hoyt]

4. Unfortunately, the Prez will be blamed. It's been that way since 1970s.

[tenderfoot]

6. Like what happened to Jimmy Carter.

Hmmm. It's like history is repeating itself.

[Chille]

3. what's the lie? nt

[tenderfoot]

8. Lie: misrepresenting the price of gas.

[jimfields33]

10. There's a picture dated today.

[JohnSJ]

12. That is the standard price here in Northern California

[Probatim]

5. The bottom line - we need another pandemic or market crash to keep people from driving.

At least that's the takeaway I'm getting from Wolfie.

13. don't wish that!

My clients are not in a situation to come to me. I have to drive to them

[Probatim]

14. Not wishing it - just pointing out that gas prices were low last year

due to a large number of Americans working from home or too nervous to get out and shop.

Simple supply and demand economics that appears to be lost on the media and a huge chunk of America.

7. Zone Pricing

Gas suppliers in the Washington area practice zone pricing. Affluent ares such as Capitol Hill, Upper Northwest DC and Bethsda-Chevy Chase will have higher gas prices. Same in Virginia for places like McLean and Oakton. I live in Fairfax and the price varies between $3.29 to $3.49 depending on the area. Blitzer is looking for clicks on his Twitter account and he should be called out for this as it is not responsible nor accurate journalism.

9. He uses Gas Buddy app to find the highest price

Easy to do, even for a moron.

[JohnSJ]

11. That is what we are paying in Northern California, and up

[Kingofalldems]

15. 10 miles from DC and it's not even close to that.

16. gas prices going up is republicans fault.

[The Mouth]

17. I wish I could get regular for only $4.29

$4.69 at Costco
