Gas prices [View all]

Conservatives and MAGAs keep posting that gas prices have declined since Trump became president, which isn’t true, of course. The day Trump took office, the average price for regular gas in the US was $3.12 per gallon. Today, it’s $3.20 per gallon according to AAA.

Also interesting: on this date last year the average price was $3.30. It won’t be long until we’ll be seeing that gas was cheaper a year ago. I like to post stuff like that on Threads to get the MAGAs in a snit. 😃
