Well above $3? It already been at $4 or more for parts of the country for quite a while

No Trump said it was $1.85 a gallon in the state of the union speech.

[–] jve@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Damn near $5 in California for what feels like a long time, and had spiked above !

I cant wait to see the biden "i did this" stickers again.

I don't know what sort of fuel filled rock you're from but here in the PNW gas is between $4 and $5 bucks. $3 dollar gas has long been history.

Looks like California, Oregon and Washington are the outliers. Everywhere else in the US gas is about $3/gallon.

Will there be stickers of trump pointing with a speech bubble saying i did that, ala biden?

lawdy, there's a wikipedia article about it lol

Your work has been cut out for you

[–] MyTurtleSwimsUpsideDown@fedia.io 3 points 2 weeks ago

Glad I filled up Thursday. Now I just have to figure out how much gas I can afford in 2 weeks.

[–] Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So glad I just did the switch to an EV. Some places even have free charging for a few hours.

[–] Pandantic@midwest.social 2 points 1 week ago

Same. At-home charging and buying an EV have somewhat large upfront costs, but it has saved me so much money in the long run. And many people don’t understand that gas isn’t the only thing it saves on, but also maintance like oil changes, transmission, and breaks (due to regenerative breaking).
