    If you’re in Valdosta that’s about right. We always stop there on way to Gville, Orlando, Clearwater. Cheapest gas on 75.

    Georgia governor suspended state gas taxes a while back. It would be about 30 cents more per gallon if not.

    There are always logical answers to things like this if you think about them. It's all about supply and demand, the election is over so there are no longer thousands of ballot harvesters driving all over the place picking up Dem ballots. Thus the demand for gas has gone down.

    Diesel is $5.29 today. That's a $1,587 fill up for the big rig. Who do these shipping expenses affect? Everyone who eats food. Home heating prices are up 18% on top of last years 17% spike.

    To thank Biden for anything is a joke. He doesn't have a clue how the real world works. He's been a government employee his entire life. The Biden administration policy decisions (link) is negatively affecting gasoline, groceries and utilities. Energy policy is killing the economy and punishing low wage and middle wage earners. The Dems pretend to care about the poor and middle class, yet they create policy that makes their lives very difficult.

    25 Biden policies raising gas prices and other energy costs - Americans for Prosperity

    Yes, global supply & demand affects the price of oil, but policy has a great effect on the price of oil. reverse this administrations policy and inflation goes away.

    How much policy was he able to implement in day 1 of his presidency. Almost feels like the oil companies raised the prices just because they could.

    That's an untrue Democratic talking point.
    He had the power to stop $5 trillion in domestic spending but chose otherwise.
