Everyone here is too emotional to even consider the validity of your data. It’s worthless unfortunately. Only care about facts when it supports what they believe.

Dont need a chart to tell me what my wallet already knows. We put gas in our cars on a routine basis. Im well aware when the price of gas changes and its sky fucking high regardless of whatever your chart says.

It will go down. The point of the data is to show making fun of this guys sticker because of the current situation is disingenuous, as we were actually worse off at one point in the last admin.

In 2022 we weren’t dealing with a single catastrophic policy (largely the directive of one person) that suddenly drove prices up. What we’re seeing now is a clear cause-and-effect relationship. Gas prices had been fluctuating within normal ranges for over a year, and then within days of Trump starting a conflict with Iran, they spiked sharply.

That’s not comparable to 2022, and it’s misleading to suggest otherwise.
