they are manipulating the price down....its going to get wild when it breaks
@
3.99? Hell I wish! We're paying over $5 a gallon in washington state.
@
Cue in the Trumpers with "Gas is only $2.09 here where I live" in three.... two.... one....

It is simply amazing! Prices go up overnight when there is any excuse, but when price by the barrel drops it takes weeks or more to "adjust" it down. It is a simple case of price gouging. I guess these oil companies wait to buy at the highest price possible and forward that to the consumer. Any person who studies business knows it is a racket. Just like credit cards, or bank accounts, they deduct from your balance immediately, but it takes 7 to 10 days to refund a credit.

I have Iran war fatigue. As a veteran I so respect the men and women in harm’s way. May this craziness end soon!
@
Where's the Trump supporters? Y'all love high gas prices.

Just another excuse to raise prices. Our CEO farted, up goes prices. It’s hot this month up goes prices.
@
Well... It's expected, isn't it? Renew hostilities and blockades... Gas prices are gonna go up. The question should be how much higher it is expected to go. Oil reserves around the world, including the US, are drying up.
@
NO greedy oil companies are causing gas prices to go up. They've had the gas we're pumping now for MONTHS!!!! They're screwing over Americans for $$$$
@
Iran has been obliterated so many times, and Trump has decimated an entire population. (per Trump)
@
Make America great again aka oil companies great again🙈
@
Trump is going to lose badly in the midterm elections... 4 months from now
@
Wars are expensive. That's common sense.

This shouldn't be news. The news should be that CEO'S are crooked corrupt and will never take a loss to keep prices lower. Pass the cost to the poor and workers while the rich and greedy make more. America, all hale the capitalist country where profit is king and corporations run the country
@
Central Florida here and gas is $3.99 today, it’ll be $4.75 next week.
@
Ours is $6!

Why does every Republican president sacrifice our troops to the Middle East.

Biden just got our troops out of Afghanistan and now Trump is sacrificing then in Iran..

Rich people don't care.
