    gaso is the price of gasoline at the whole sale trade market value. It is a direct relation to gas pump prices. Only about $0.70 less. But the ups and downs are identical.

    I have no idea where you dwell from, but I know for absolute certainty that gas prices weren’t on the rise in 2020. If it did rise, we are talking a few cents. Biden has take me from roughly $1.70 a gallon to $3.30 a gallon. If Trump took me from $1.60 a gallon to $1.70 a gallon, that’s a horrible argument. If we saw gas prices rise during Trump, we are talking mere cents…. Biden has doubled it. It’s a shame that you can’t even acknowledge the wrong-doings and screw ups under the sitting “President”.

    You know for a fact. Then show us your chart of gas prices and prove it.
    I proved what the commodity price of gas was for all of 2020 and all of 2021. And that is a direct correlation to pump prices.

    Prices started going up when travel opened about the middle of last year.

    I don’t have to show you squat. I stood in front of the pumps. I own several vehicles. Are you telling me that I just pumped gas aimlessly and never once paid any attention to the prices?

    You didn’t prove anything. You showed me some chart from some bogus source you scooped up. Do you believe everything you read on the internet?

    Why??? Does the government build gas stations? Did they when we were moving from horse to automobiles? Let the power companies and the people who use the electricity pay for them why should the 98% of drivers who don't drive electric cars pay for them?

    I am all for private industry doing what Ford did. Can you point to me the legislation that funded the government building gas stations and pipelines?

    All you've posted is your bogus memory.

    Keep saying “Trump, Trump, Trump” when you are filling up at $5-6 a gallon in the next year or two. Maybe it’ll make it go away.

    presidents have NO impact on gasoline prices. Except for perhaps a few months at best.
    It's a free market that determines prices. Supply and demand.

    Trump threatened foreign countries to reduce supply in the middle of last year, we are now seeing the effect at the pump

    Trump thought we were not paying enough at the pump - thanks Trump

    "Trump threatens 'very substantial' tariffs on imported oil if Saudi Arabia and Russia can't reach a deal to push prices back up"

    You're wasting your time. Arguing with trumpists is like arguing with a Child.

    I understand the gov't was working on cars powered by hot air, but the effort stopped once Trump left office.

    not yet,

    the motors are there, just need better batteries and more charging stations and fast charging

    battery technology is really the only road block at this point

    Again, what about deer?

    Already nearly 200 Americans are killed every year in collisions with deer. Electric vehicles are quieter than ICE powered vehicles which makes the likelihood of them running into deer far, far higher. Not to mention running over other animals.

    I see what you did there! Clever! It takes profound levels of gullibility and willingness to follow blindly at religious levels to believe any politician, regardless of party. You are right about him, but if you are a Democrat, you are not pointing with clean hands.

    The batteries come with many problems of their own. From mining the lithium to the millions of batters reaching the end of their lives, it is not the solution for pollution. It may look like elected officials want to reduce pollution, but they really just want the money/power.
