Trump keeps saying places are selling gas for $1.99. There’s no proof to back that up

Every Maga getting gas will blame their state or someone else and might say it just my area. Remember the Biden I did that sticker, well Trump made a deal with Saudi Arabia to raise the prices in gas because during the pandemic oil per barrel dropped too low and then his family got a nice donation from the Saudis.

It's those damn Deep State Democrat petrol stations that are the problem!

Little t is wholly separated from:

What money is worth
What anything costs
Fueling a vehicle
Anything else within the realm of reality

Lowest in my area is $2.29 at Sam's club and everywhere is averaging is $2.78. Been really slow for the people in the offshore oil and gas surveying industry.

What does cheap gas cost? Everything. It's the worst ranked state in the US for starters.

Worst ranked for what? Do you have anything to back up that statement, or is it just an evidence free bald assertion?

I think the down voters are confused and think you're talking about LA (the city in California) instead of LA (the state of Louisiana).

yeah I saw something that suggested prices this year were lower than last and I actually have kept some reciepts and im like. um no. were they comparing like one day this year to another particular day last year. Its just below 4 and I definitely have 4 as something I notice due to its effects last time. Granted 4 is cheap relative to the cost of other things.

Gas still costs nothing over there.
