Gas prices....

Do you understand why prices are coming down when they shouldn’t be?
Take a look at Costco sales 👀
Massive red flag
A lot of the uncertainty really stems to concerns if the U.S. economy does slow down, it’s going to lead to likely significantly lower consumption of things like oil, gasoline, diesel and jet fuel,” De Haan said in a phone call with McClatchy. “So oil prices have been backing off a bit in the last couple of weeks because a lot of the uncertainty surrounding especially tariffs and the broader economy two-fold.”

Why OPEC+ is Supporting a Potentially Disastrous Rise in Oil Production | OilPrice.com
The last oil price war has indebted, but not reduced U.S. shale production, while costing OPEC members $450 billion in lost revenues.

Lol @ ole Trad asking what the problem is with a slowing economy
Moderate growth... not too hot and not too cold... that's that sweet spot.
Yes, like what we had under the previous president and what the current president is desperately trying to screw up.
this is a joke, right? Gas prices have gone up .50/gallon this past week where I live.
Trump's economy is worse than Biden's and you're now saying this is the sweet spot?
By what measure? Egg prices are down, gas prices are down, what's the problem?
Job production is down. Economic growth is down. Lots of recession talk. Seems like everyone can see the problem but you. And just today are the revelations that DOGE will cost us $500 billion.
Nothing fixes an economy like a wartime economy. Let er rip
GDP falling. The only way Trump's promises could be kept was if the economy tanked. I'll be damned if we wasn't able to do it.
I've seen the victory laps on social media. Egg prices down, gas prices down, inflation down! He did it!!! lol
Egg prices went up since January. Gas prices fell steadily during 2024 and then went up steadily since January 2025. Inflation went from 9.1% to 2.4% under Biden and the world was coming to an end. Inflation goes up to 3% under Trump, then falls to 2.8% and there are celebrations. Yeeehaw he did it!
THIS IS THE GREATNESS EVERYONE!!!! America is saved!

Gas prices jumped $0.21 a gallon here yesterday and the price for unleaded gas continues to rise on the NYMEX. Thanks Trump.
Only in your world would a predicted decline in GDP equal moderate growth. Tell us how up is down next.
Does not compute. GDP still growing moderately in Trad's brain and will continue to do so as long as the Dear Leader is in office. Prices are down as well. That is the only possible scenario that can be acknowledged.GDP falling. The only way Trump's promises could be kept was if the economy tanked. I'll be damned if we wasn't able to do it.
I just got home from a week in SoCal where I paid $4.79 gallon to fill up the rental car
$2.79 looked great this morning!
$2.79 looked great this morning!
Look, all the MAGAts know the economy, including gas and egg prices, is horrible. Trump has no clue what he’s doing, let alone what day it is. He is the real Weekend at Bernie’s.
They may know it but they'll never admit it.
Unleaded gas went up again today on the NYMEX. It won't be long until we're all over $3 again. Thanks Trad.
Did it go up? Everything online is showing it between 2.95-3.05 in Fort Dodge for 3/26/25. That average price of gas for Webster County is 2.99. I find it hard to believe Ft Dodge would be over 30 cents cheaper per gallon than the average in the county.
I am at the point where I cannot distinguish if you are being sarcastic or an idiot.
If you need help making your decision, just ask.
