Where can I buy gas for $1.98/gallon? (1 Viewer)

[Airyaman]

I saw it.

In my city, it was a one-day special and only for people using the company gas card.


Our price ranges from $2.29 to $2.59.


It's not lying; it's cherry picking.

One example is enough.


It's out there.

I have seen it.

"Trust me, bro."

 

[Airyaman]

That's bold.

What evidence can you bring to contradict eyewitness testimony?


What is not believable about a company offering a one-day special?

For the record, it was Circle K, headquartered in Dallas. This local news report mentions it as a side note.

GasBuddy report shows prices are lower than previous months despite high prices

The cheapest station in Texas was priced at $1.99/g yesterday.

www.newschannel6now.com

According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in Texas was priced at $1.99/g yesterday while the most expensive was $4.00/g, a difference of $2.01/g. The lowest price in the state yesterday was $1.99/g while the highest was $4.00/g, a difference of $2.01/g.​

You are aware that GasBuddy prices are crowd sourced, right? Which means it only reports what other people -- like you or I -- "report".

That said

Trump makes false or misleading claims about grocery prices and the cost of gas. Here's a fact check.

President Trump has made a series of false or misleading statements about consumer prices, while shoppers are seeing some tariff-related cost hikes.

I'm beginning to wonder if Trump is being sabotaged by his own "advisors", who are deliberately feeding him misinformation, just to make him look like a moron. Now that they've got the White House, they may be looking to get him the 25th Amendment treatment before the midterms. I have no doubt that Vance, who is much smarter than Trump, must have ambitions.

OR - no less likely that Trump really is just a moron.

Doesn't he frequently ride to and from his castle in Palm Beach and pass gas stations? What about here in N.VA or Bedminster. His people showing him incorrect data is a stretch. All he would have to do is ask any one of 50 aids who drive in to work in DC every day.

Why would his aids give him incorrect data forcing him to lie to America? They should know people will question this. I don't buy it.

He's lying, as usual.

According to the Google machine, MS has the lowest prices at $2.66/gal so not sure what Dementia Don is talking about.

But then are grocery prices down? Not that I can see.

Mortgage rates are slightly down, so he didn't lie there.

Billions of dollars from tariffs? Possibly, and that will be paid by Americans (companies then perhaps consumers).

But I am on the lookout for that $1.98 gas!

Only the dopey MAGA cult believe gas is down to $1.98.

 

[NuffSaid]

$2.60 ish here

stable, has been for months , anything under $3.00 is fantastic compared to first few years of Biden

a quick google says "But no state has had an average gasoline price close to $1.98 per gallon in recent weeks. The lowest per-gallon price we could find of all U.S. gas stations was $2.11 at one station, as of April 23, according to a company that tracks prices at stations across the U.S."

$0.13 is pretty close - but still not accurate



I'm calling this a gaffe and moving on

Naw, call it a serial liar spewing bullshit.

Could it be?

Dementia 2 Doll Donnie Boy is so clueless as to what the average American deals with.
Him and his elitist snobs don’t worry about things like gas prices.

 

[Lord of Planar]

My God.

The things believed and debated about. When president Trump said $1.98, he didn't say it was the state average, yet that is what all the fact checking is doing. Words have meaning people, stop and think how the haters are playing you. Using a state average instead of what some discount stations will offer.

Just has to say my two cents about the stupid things the left believe and gets their panties in a bunch over.

I am now out of this stupid thread of hatemongers.

When I drive around N.VA and see gas everywhere ranging from $2.99 to $3.19, I find it hard to believe what Trump says. That's all. Really simple.

No, no.
According to MAGA, don’t listen to what their idol actually says. But listen to what he says. It depends on what he says and when he says it.

I saw the promotion myself.

I can say with authority that they missed one.

Getting painful carrying that water eh?

And just think, you still have almost 4 years to do it.

You'll look like this in no time:

It's only up pennies from when Joe left by me. Up about a nickel.

I was in SC visiting Clemson with my son two weeks ago. Most places between the airport and the school were $2.39/gal. Being from the NE that seemed dirt cheap to me.

 

[Airyaman]

Well, it seems he got one part of the promise right.

OK. As you wish.

Primary source, eyewitness testimony, firsthand knowledge, observational fact, take your choice.

There is nothing bizarre going on. It's just a case of a promotional discount that falls $0.20 outside the normal price range.

LOL Do you think oil is down because Trump is drilling more? Actually our oil production is flat. Oil is down because Trump's trade war is killing the world's economy and traders are betting on demand for oil going down. Be careful what you wish for. America has gone from the fastest growing economy in the world to negative GDP growth in 100 days of Trump. It is going to be a long 4 years.

Oil industry that Trump wants to ‘drill, baby, drill’ has taken a beating since he took office​

I wonder if the Donald has ever put gas in any of his vehicles on his own?

Understandably. It does seem highly unlikely.

 

[Gordy327]

I can't remember when gas being < $2 was a thing.

 

[stealthycat]

true

but gas prices fluctuate always ... however, if it soars to bigly like it did under Biden it'll hurt American's harder and faster than anything else does
