Gas has gotten cheap. Thanks Joe.

I don’t gas up very often but it’s 40-50 cents cheaper than my last fill

1. $3.59 here in southern MD.

2. I don't

know where you live, but it's still over 3.50/gallon everywhere I see. The prices are insane

7. 3.50 usd per US gallon is hardly 'insane'

Something is going on with the Netherlands, as there was a massive increase all of a sudden.

10. You can

call it whatever you want, but the fact remains that I'm paying 15-20 dollars more per tank of gas than I was before prices exploded, and my home gas and electric is aslo 24-30% higher. High energy prices are causing serious rises in the cost of everything else as well.
Besides that, Joe Biden has nothing to do with energy prices

11. 2 years ago, petrol was, on a national average, over 5 usd per USD in the US

9. It's 3.05

in my area of KCMO today. I am sure it varies a lot depending on state and local taxes. Our gas always goes up when they change to the summer blend of gasoline.

3. Huh?

It went up 27 cents overnight 3 weeks ago, and has fallen only 3 cents since.
We're in NE Illinois. Where are you?

[brush]

4. Wasn't it around $5.00 during the Joe Biden admin and has fallen?

[ProfessorGAC]

5. Not Around Here

It's within 10 or 15 cents of the most It's ever been.
Of course adjusted for cost of living it was way worse during the 43 administration because it hit $4 and that was 16 years ago.
I keep track of the average price in this county & our area code. So, I can't speak to national numbers.

6. $2.81 per gallon here

Mid cities DFW

12. Not in the Chicago area.

13. I filled up at $2.78/gal. yesterday here in SE Iowa.

That was in the town that's 20 miles to the east of mine. It's always 20-50 cents per gallon less in that town. It's because they have a Pilot station that all the other gas stations in that town compete with. I'm told the low prices are because of the lower prices from their wholesaler. Funny that we can't get the same wholesaler in our town just 20 miles away....

Unusually, the price of gas in my town has been jumping up and down frequently in recent weeks, and by substantial amounts both ways. It usually makes a big jump up and stays that way for a while and then only reduces by a few pennies.

14. I guess it's all relative depending where you live. Last time was $4.40 now $3.89
