Gas prices climb as Iran conflict and oil markets push costs higher
Oil-market disruptions tied to the Iran conflict pushed U.S. pump prices up, with the national average for regular gasoline at $4.30 per gallon on April 30, up $1.32 since February 28; diesel averaged $5.50 and premium $5.16. State-level extremes show Texas rising from $2.55 in February to $3.72 in late April, while California stations hit nearly $6 per gallon in places such as Pasadena. In Canada, Toronto drivers saw a four-cent jump at the pumps, and the federal 10¢ per liter gas tax cut on April 20 briefly lowered prices by roughly 10¢ per liter versus U.S. levels but prices have largely rebounded, leaving them only about 3¢ lower than before the cut. Higher pump prices raise transportation and shipping costs, add upward pressure on inflation, and tighten household budgets heading into the summer driving season.
Average U.S. gas prices per gallon on April 30, per AAA: • Regular: $4.30 (⬆️ $1.32 since war in Iran began on Feb. 28) • Premium: $5.16 (⬆️ $1.30 since war began) • Diesel: $5.50 (⬆️ $1.74 since war began)
TFBabb72128Remember, unlike Joe Biden, Trump actually DID DO THIS!!!!
digger69-51.bsky.social18That’s funny! Right now it’s $4.799 in NE Indiana. Up from $3.54 Tuesday morning. But it’s not trumps fault all the republicans say. Hey maga 🖕!
Michael11Random prediction; Self-exiled UAE pumps beyond OPEC monopoly standards, crashes crude price to $70/barrel, Trump takes credit.
atchijov.bsky.social10US is one of biggest oil producers… Malta have to buy oil… but somehow, price of gas barely changed for me on Malta… while my friends and family in US being robbed every time they need to refill. Fuck Trump is given, but Fuck US Oil conglomerates should not be forgotten too.
murzy.bsky.social7Don't forget the extra they charge you to use a credit card for gas. In a couple of gas stations in Florida, they charged me an additional $1.50 a gallon to pay by credit card. ☹️
jema9.bsky.social7I’m paying almost $20 more each fill-up. Which is weekly. So, ya know, just a casual $80 a month going to Jack fucking shit. Can’t wait for this entire pedophile golden shower ballroom regime to rot and clot in prison. TAKE THEM DOWN!! #86TheRegime
collier74.bsky.social6A thoughtful nation would make it a Manhattan Project-styled priority to get out from under the thumb of Big Oil but we know what's going on.
mikeym62.bsky.social6Nothing says winning like being broke because of rising gas, food, and housing costs.
Mart Thirk6In the MAGA Land of Make Believe, high prices are joe biden's fault. And Hillary's fault. And blame the left press corps. Also, these aren't high prices! Its also Obama's fault.

Waynod2In Mich… had gone $1.00 in 3 days: Monday $3.99 Wed. $4.50 Today Thursday ($4.99) The avg by AAA can’t keep up.
Great Bu2This is costing us half a billion dollars a day in increased fuel costs alone. I reckon if we offered Iran half a billion dollars a day to never make a nuclear weapon they would sign that deal so fast the pen would catch fire.
President Trump's Iran war is causing gas prices to hit record highs. But don't worry, he is laser-focused on the issues that matter most to him: Firing comedians over jokes at his expense, prosecuting enemies over bullshit, and building a 250-foot arch and ballroom. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
laura bishop2Curious: 1. Trump is watching too many old gangster movies. Where he gets his info? 2. Or, he’s awfully familiar with mafia slang. 🤔 3. Most ordinary people see “86” as restaurant lingo.

61 days into Donald Trump's war with Iran, the national average for a gallon of gas is now $4.30 — up 44.3%. That's ON TOP of higher prices for groceries, shipping, flights, and more. And the response from the Trump Administration and GOP Congress? Crickets.
J Kelly6Worse than crickets. Bare-faced lies and gaslighting.

Red (Tony)2CALL FOR THE ARREST OF JONATHAN ROSS FOR THE MURDER OF RENEE GOOD!
Gas prices are surging because of this new war in Iran. I’m calling for a suspension of the federal gas tax — which would immediately drop the price of gas by 18 cents a gallon. Suspend the gas tax. End the war in Iran. Make life more affordable.
James Talarico146Federal fuel taxes help pay for roads and highways — so we’ll need to cover the gap. We’ll use my plan to close billionaire tax loopholes, which would generate enough revenue to make it up… plus a lot more. www.statesman.com/news/politic...

takethepith.bsky.social2Terrible policy and terrible politics
denisekruse.bsky.social2If this goes through, Republicans will attribute it to Trump. Yes, gas prices are surging but perhaps it is a lesson for voters
pete1456.bsky.social2If we have more American oil than we need and we even export it WHY IS TRUMP ALLOWING THE AMERICAN GAS COMPANIES TO PRICE GOUGE US
Pete Hegseth: "We control the Strait." Sen. Tim Scott: "Gas prices continue to come down." The defining characteristic of Republican politicians is their enthusiastic lying.

HB Servetus 🇺🇸2MAGA conservatism is the ideology of the "Noble Lie" The proponents of the "Noble Lie" are going to be liars and tell many lies to support the primary lie.

Did Canada’s 10¢/L cut to gas tax really lower gas prices? Earlier in April, gas averaged 69¢/L more in 🇨🇦 than 🇺🇸. After the cut (April 20th), prices immediately dropped about 10¢ relative to 🇺🇸! But then started trending back up again. Prices today are only 3¢ lower than before the cut.
Oh The Urbanity!9Normally: adding a tax makes things more expensive, taking it away makes things cheaper. But how much of the increase/savings gets passed on to the consumer depends on the market/circumstances. A physical shortage of oil is a context where tax cuts are *less likely* to get passed on to consumers.
Darcy R2I think it was Trevor Tombe who did this same analysis when AB dropped the gas tax for a while. It was easier to model AB from the rest of Canada. It only took a few months before all of the 13¢/L was recaptured by oil companies. I’d expect the same now
Scott Clement2Canada switches to a summer blend of gasoline which is more expensive than winter blend. We do this in April. Did you take into consideration that much of the US did not switch to a costlier blend in April? I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, but it's a data point that needs to be considered.
