My gas prices weren't this high under Joe Biden

This is from the gas station closest to my house in South Florida. There are 8 gas stations within a 1 mile radius of my house, including this one. It usually has the cheapest of all the gas station near me, and that is still true today as far as I can tell. This is the current gas price:

I usually pay cash when I fill up my tank, usually around $40. Tonight I used my card since I only had 1/8 of a tank (which holds 15 gallons) and it cost me $61.06...

Who could have guessed that a guy who has failed in just about every endeavor he ever attempted would make a shambles of our Gov't., ruin our relationships with allies, weaken our military and crush our economy.
Who knew?

Dear Leader said gas prices were down. And even it they did go up, this is a small price to pay for freedom and keeping Iran from having a nuclear weapon. Make sure you preorder your Trump gas; only a small $2k downpayment and we reserve the right to compensate with items of similar value if Trump gas becomes unavailable.



I mean, come on, this is a load of crap we're being asked to swallow. The M$M deserves just as much scorn as this administration for trying to tell us our eyes and wallets are deceiving us. We're being managed.

I retired at the end of 2023. I watched gas prices religiously. Never have prices been this high. There was a short time when GWB pushed up the per gallon price because of his bumbling Iraq bullshit. It was $4.00 a gallon until he crashed the economy. The pro republiCON media outlets always give those rePUKES a pass but if the price goes up 10 cents a gallon when the WH has a Democratic President, all media jumps on it like they have rabies.
