real reason for gas prices
« on: November 08, 2026, 07:26:17 PM »
Gas prices have started to plummet after the midterms, exactly as President Trump said they would.

The Iran war was never the real reason prices climbed at the pump. Greedy gas corporations were raising prices on American families and using the chaos as cover.

Those corporations tried to squeeze drivers at the exact moment it could hit hardest, and the timing landed right on top of an election.

They should be investigated for trying to maneuver our elections. Working families deserve answers, and the gouging stops here.

All this sounds good to me.

Gas prices down.
Beef prices down
Eggs prices down

Somehow Asparagus is $6.49 a pound?

I buy all this stuff.

Maybe ICE shooting American Citizens in the head and Trump calling the victim a terrorist wasn't a good idea.

Oh well.

Hi Andrew,

Gas prices have started to plummet after the midterms, exactly as President Trump said they would.

TRANSLATION:  Too much too little too late!  Yes I paid 3.49/gallon in South Florida last week.  It wouldn't have made a difference in the election.

The Iran war was never the real reason prices climbed at the pump. Greedy gas corporations were raising prices on American families and using the chaos as cover.

TRANSLATION:  These CEOs and these organizations 'played Trump' like Bibi did to start the Iran War and look what happened!

Those corporations tried to squeeze drivers at the exact moment it could hit hardest, and the timing landed right on top of an election.

TRANSLATION:  Once again these people are smarter than Trump! 

They should be investigated for trying to maneuver our elections. Working families deserve answers, and the gouging stops here.

TRANSLATION:  The "WAA WAA KING" 'STRIKES AGAIN, because he didn't like what happened, yet Trump and the 'clan' try to influence elections in different ways!  Sorry you can't have your cake and eat it too!

Gas prices around here are around 3 90, down from a high of $4.40. I had $1.50 in gas rewards from my supermarket so I paid $2.40 a gallon and a tank full lasts me all month. Gas stations have always taken advantage of any situation in order to raise prices and when they start to drop, they milk it for as long as they can instead of lowering them to where they should be

The Chevron station was 3.50 right around the corner from where I bowl.  It was 3.75. + everywhere else.  Gas was about 4.50/gal a while ago while diesel was over 6/gal.  I'll have to check out diesel yet again as I haven't checked it out in a while.

I'll be driving in Boca Raton tomorrow where gas is at least 70 cents+ more per gallon than elsewhere in South Florida.

We wouldn't be in this boat if DJT just ignored Bibi and there was no American involvement in Iran.

Diesel around here is between,$6.20 and 6.50.

The food manufacturers are just as bad if not worse when it comes to price gouging..
During COVID, production was way down creating shortages in certain products so they jacked up the prices. Business was way down during COVID because people stayed home more in A hen it started to wase, to make up for lost revenue they raised prices and continue to do so years later as they continue to gouge the public. Some prices have come down, but nowhere near the levels they were pre COVID  because they're greedy

Publix is expensive down here.. South Florida has higher food prices than other places.
Ah, those toilet paper prices---LOL  73cv.2
Business wasn't down where I work--liquor store retail. 
My owners haven't raised prices much the last few years.
