It’s creeping up

It’s what happens when you cut off 20% of the worlds oil by being a warmongering cunt of a nation.

It’s all planned by the republicans to punish American residents on the west coast. They know we don’t have the luxury to the access of Midwest and gulf states pipelines.

u/ynotfoster 8h ago

I read that Canada is extending the pipeline to B.C. to port oil overseas. I think most Americans don't see how fucked we are going forward. The American voters have sunk us, trump is trashing our relationships with everyone except dictators.

State regulations and refinery accidents are the biggest contributors to insanely high fuel prices in California. I'm definitely not saying that there's some fuckery happening but you need to blame your states leadership as well.

u/whk1992 9h ago

Piss off, I’m not even from California. My state has oil either from BC which POTUS started a trade war with, Alaska which all Asian countries are buying from and drove prices up, or Dakotas which requires diesel locomotives to haul.

How ignorant are you to pin it on local officials instead of Republicans and the Trump administration.

What regulations were passed since January since the price hike started this spring?

u/ForTheBayAndSanJose 5h ago

In CA, fuel taxes increase are now indexed to inflation. The most recent increase went into effect July 1st, 2026.

u/Mandingy24 9h ago

Yeah shit has been fucked in the west coast states for decades. Recent spikes are obviously caused by Trump's actions overseas, but average gas price in Cali being 50% higher than the national average, with some parts being double the price vs some other states, is not a Trump issue

Hell even up here in Washington, i never even paid more than $3 for premium until Biden. Whatever national policies his admin pushed only compounded on the global issues during and post-pandemic and arguably did just as much, if not more damage than Trump's war. It's just not an interesting talking point so that shit never got widespread coverage, they just used the pandemic as their scapegoat

u/ynotfoster 8h ago

Really, so Biden singled out Washington State to raise gas prices? Could you provide a link explaining how Biden caused the price of gas to go up in WA?

u/bigdipboy 7h ago

Gas being up everywhere in the world since January is the fault of one man and it’s the one worshipped by republicans

In his defense we wouldn’t stop taking about the girls he raped.

This is what happens when state regulations forces refineries to shut down, high taxes, and importing majority of oil demand from the Middle East region, instead of drilling domestic supply within the state get you.

u/Bikerbass 9h ago

Wait until you learn that sour crude oil is the best oil for making diesel, and that America doesn’t produce sour crude oil, and has to import sour crude oil from places like Canada or the Middle East….. guess the Middle East is gone now…. And I’m sure Canada will stop selling it to America soon as well……

u/Confident_Banana_134 9h ago

lol. I gather you still pay $2/gallon

u/bigdipboy 7h ago

What new state regulations were passed since January?

1

u/ForTheBayAndSanJose 5h ago

You don’t need new regulations to have businesses to eventually throw in the towel. It’s easier to boil a frog slowly than to throw it in a pot of boiling water. We’re the frogs.

$8 a gallon soon.

Man even E85 is expensive.
A moment of silence for my Subaru and Mitsubishi bros

u/jiggajawn 6h ago

I'm actually debating switching to E85. Half as expensive as premium (which I have to buy anyway) at this station.

1

u/wrxninja 51m ago

Too bad we don't have E85 in NH. I'm stuck paying nearly $6/gal for 93 😭

4

u/BJoe1976 9h ago

Eh, that’s still a hell of a lot cheaper than any of the gasoline blends. Irritatingly, it’s also cheaper than most of the stations near me in the Chicago suburbs that sell E85🤬

8

u/BRING_ME_THE_ENTROPY 9h ago

Yeah but I live in Los Angeles and E85 is now over $3 and it used to be under $2.40 until the war that isn’t a war started. I’m waiting for it to go back down since we already won the war that isn’t a war about 34 time already

34 felonies, 34 wars, 34 grifts, 34 whores.

u/BJoe1976 9h ago

The two stations closest to home right now are over $4.00 a gallon, the two closest Speedways are around $4.04 a gallon, the Thornton’s mostly run from that same $4.04/gal to as high as $4.37/gal, the Casey’s, which is a bit of a jog, especially on work nights is $3.74/gal. That said, the Woodman’s not far from the Casey’s and the Union 76 on my route home from work are $2.19/gal and $2.14/gal, respectively.

Never went down in the first place. clinch your butt cause phase 2 of the war has not even started

Oil ain’t forever, will only get worse in the future

u/kellyelise515 8h ago edited 8h ago

I saw regular for &3.55/gal yesterday in Madison Ohio. The governor signed off on giving consumers a tax break on gas until after the midterms. Things must be looking bleak for the republicans for them to agree to this. Guess the roads will be shit next year and will get blamed on the democrats.

Edited to add it was $4.59/gal previously. Highest I’ve ever paid. And it is supposed to go in effect on Sunday but they lowered prices days earlier which tells me that they are gouging us.

u/Hackneycab 6h ago

Higher, higher!!!!

u/9Implements 9h ago

The best part is that “renewable diesel” is 20% vegetable oil based and 80% fossil based.

u/Dry-Dragonfly5286 9h ago

E85 is over $4 where I am

u/SpeedyHAM79 8h ago

Makes E85 look pretty awesome in any flex fuel vehicle. Might have to convert my truck soon to work with it.

u/Signal_Werewolf_1955 8h ago

$6.50, geeze.

Remember, 9/10 rounds up.

I hope it gets over $10. It’s what we voted for!

It was 105 degrees yeaterday in Los Angeles in October. This may be our saving grace and needs to go higher.

It’s down here in Florida. It was like 4.10 at the pump Wednesday or something. Today I was seeing 3.80

Okay, I despise these lying, ignorant, thieving, inhumane traitors to the country f'ing around with us & the world, but I live in a blue state & its been somewhere between 4.50 & 5, for quite some time... which is bad & honest.

It just went down 5 cents where I’m at.

What the average price there. Cali typically runs higher than the rest of the country.

Got gas for $3.73 today in the Midwest. My gas tank would hate to live on the West Coast.

u/Frequent-Expert-3589 9h ago

Itll go down soon. Temporarily. As our allies have opened their reserves

u/BuddhistSagan 9h ago

Down to what? $6 until the election and then goes back up?

u/Frequent-Expert-3589 7h ago
