    Depends on your definition of significantly. Almost 10%, which I wouldn't fault you for calling significant as a 1 year change. It certainly fell a ton the first go around, but COVID made oil futures plummet to a negative cost, which is insane. If you want to give him credit for that, it feels weird, but up until then? Sure, as much as you want to credit gas prices to a President, but prices actually went up for the first couple years of his Presidency, because they plummeted in 2016. Gas was about 10% more in January 2020 than it was in January 2017.

    For me, it does very little. I've spent $18.89 on gas in the last 6 months. $499.86 all of last year, and some of that is really for car washes and snacks.

    Saving 500 to 1000 a month on gas is significant to my business.

    Forgive me for asking but why the hell do I care? Like why do we care about exceptional situations where some benefits while the vast majority do not?

    It’s like me saying it’s a good thing that the US go to war with another country because I have one friend who works for Raytheon and they’ll get a raise from large increases in bombs manufactured.

    I guess you must not live in houston as these oil prices have been terrible for the industry.

    Like I give a crap about what you think.

    I will tell you this, lower gas prices are good for lower/middle class Americans.

    I live in Houston but operate a statewide business minus West Texas. Our guys fill up once a day, sometimes twice a day depending on the trip.

    ... and unsurprisingly lowers his empathy score ... and we all can assume that he does not care about that either.

    I care about what makes life easier for the middle/lower class and cheaper gas prices make things easier for them.

    I love how the MAGA cultists pretend that were not living in the worst job market in recent history. Job growth is zero




    The funny thing about @raining threes he talks about the middle class needing relief but when his cult hero allowed healthcare premiums to double for 30 million americans he said nothing. These people stand for nothing

    Nothing says I care about the middle and lower class by voting for a corrupt billionaire who continues to grift and enrich his kind at the expense of the plebs. @raining threes is one dumb mother****er…you just reason with stupid.

    Need to read your Bible and understand his word more. You’re kind of lost. When you go full retarrd the other way, that will happen to you.

    No you don’t. You guys just love burning fossil fuels like crazy just to own the libs or whatever you guys get off on. Destroy Gods green earth just to own the libs… real cool man. You guys are so alpha.

    Also gas prices are nearly the same as under Biden and OPEC controls gas prices, and is just as likely to spike gas prices because of Trumps embargo than they are to lower them just because Trump seized Venezuelan land that might or might not have oil available in 5 years to sell to African countries.
