You ever get the feeling someone is testing your sanity?
Asking for a friend
Every day for the past decade. Why?
It'll be 45.47 per gallon soon with Republican incompetence.
I don't understand.
Why is trump so good at helping Cuba become oil free and using 100% renewable energy while he insists the US keeps using Oil and destroys offshore wind projects at home?
Trump, please treat US more like Cuba.
How about 2.47? 2nd term 47th prez?
Or how about 1.47? Only 1 man could be 47th?
How about 47c?
How about 47.00?
Now we're cooking with fire.
How about prices lower than 18 because that's what he likes, anything below 18.
Yup, they published a list of 25 gas stations offering the lower prices and apparently none of them actually existed.
EDIT: I need to clarify because I don't want to be responsible for misinformation. That info came from a YouTube channel that quoted a woman on Tik Tok who said she checked the first five locations on the list and they weren't gas stations. I checked the first five locations with a quick Google maps search and they were ALL gas stations. So I think she was spreading lies. I then check all 25 and one was an apartment complex. But that could be a Google maps thing.
There's still a lot wrong with this whole freedom fuel thing but that's not one of them. Apologies.
Imagine if Dems did this. They'd call it communism, lol. Central planning, price controls, etc.
Trump promised $2/gal gas on "day one". Where is the $2 gas?
Which is funny because gas is pretty much (at least in my area) exactly $2 more per gallon than it was before his inauguration.
Maybe he was always saying "2 dollars (more)" in his head the whole time...
On any given day, a 2 has a pretty good chance of being somewhere on a fuel price sign

3.47
4.47
5.47....
The spokesperson said the Trump administration does not own, fund, or subsidize the business.
I believe them because they are known to be very honest
The spokesperson said the Trump administration is not involved with the company and is not subsidizing the gas stations, adding that the stations can offer lower prices by reducing their profit margins.
Yes, because famously gas stations make a ton of money on gas sales... pull someone else's leg, mine is long enough already.
"Thanks, Trump, for saving me some money," said a customer based in Philadelphia, where the state average for a gallon of gasoline is $3.98.
So which is true? If Trump and/or the government have nothing to do with it, then IDK, maybe thank whoever is choosing to take a loss selling gasoline below market price. If it is Trump and/or the government, then why is this company saying that it isn't being subsidized?
The spokesperson said the Trump administration is not involved with the company
Bullshit. These stations are in his pocket

According to GasBuddy analyst Patrick De Haan, the "Freedom Fuel Network" was registered on June 23, 2026, to Corporation Trust Company, a registered agent that has previously been used by Trump-related entities.
It wouldn't surprise me if he managed to cut his buddies a sweet deal for Venezuelan oil, and this is how they are repaying him
They'll sell at a loss to get the President to advertise for them on TV
In a week they'll be the same price, in a month they'll be higher due to idiot tax.
They want people to make their gas station their personality, and trumpets are dumb enough to do it.
Next week the magats will be going out of their way to buy "freedom gas" from this station for $4.47 /gal, and they'll do it with all the smugness and arrogance they can muster

So the Freedom Fuel Network, as a "private company" just decided to do this on their own? For the good of society? And happened to price a gallon at $3.47 for the president?
A gallon of what though? "Fuel?"
Its a typo, it actually a gallon of Huel.

They’re not selling gasoline, they’re selling the experience of living in an alternate reality.
Since they're MAGA, I'm just gonna assume the ratio of this fuel price to normal fuel prices is equal to the ratio of water added.

I’ll call it right here : this will be a scam. They’ll ask for a monthly subscription card and never deliver
