Gas Prices Where You Live

- Start date
Gas was $1.60 when Trump took over. It was $2.80 by the end of his second year. It stayed around that number til 2020 when Covid locked down the country and gas dropped. All these numbers can be verified on the Gas Buddy app. We’ve had back to back terrible presidents. That’s how we got here.
There's a Speedway off 5th St and I-75 in Covington that's $3.29, over $1 less than a Sunoco on 13th St. and most places in OH.
America was energy independent under Trump. In fact we were exporting it. That's where I want to be again. When you are independent you don't need to beg to foreign thugs and despots like we are now.
$2.80 per gallon under Trump? Seems to me it was much lower for longer during his 4 years but, I'll take that number in a heartbeat.
I didn't agree with everything Trump did and said. If he had kept his mouth shut more often, things might have gone smoother. BUT...he was a political outsider who made his money in real estate development and business. When he started levying taxes on the Chinese it threatened a LOT of gravy trains on BOTH SIDES of the aisle in Washington. Pelosi, Shumer, the whole Biden family get their orders from the CCP. And it isn't just the Dems. Ol beady eyed Mitch's father in law was a shipping magnate in China. Who do you think he gets his orders from? Basically we're talking about the DC Swamp. Trump was a real threat to the status quo and therefore, he had to go.
$1 gap between Kroger Bellevue and Speedway Covington at $3.29. Cheapest in E. Cincy is still Eastgate Sam's at $4.19.
The Speedway went from $3.29 to $4.18 in a couple days! Two Krogers near me matched this price on a day oil is down 3% and now's below $88.
Traveled down to Morganfield this morning to visit my parents.
$3.63 on west side of Evansville
$3.15 (!) on the Hwy 41 strip in Henderson
$3.37 here in Morganfield

KY still has about .46 cents to go to get back to February 23, 2022 levels. Cincy about .75 cents.
I'm just glad we weathered the Putin Price Hike... although I guess Vlad should get the credit for recent drop as well.
We're exporting it now too. We net-exported more oil in April 2022 than we did in any month under Trump. In fact, we were a net exporter under Trump 14 of his 48 months in office. We've been a net exporter under Biden for 11 of his 16 months (oil import data only runs through May 2022).
America is NOT energy independent. Did you miss the Biden fiasco's where oil producing countries refused to even take his call? His groveling to the corrupt Saudi's to increase production? His overtures to Venezuela?
Hell, Biden gave 1 million barrels of crude to the Chinese. WTF?
Just last week a judge sided with the Biden administration to halt coal mining on public lands. Instead, we're going to depend more and more on the CCP for solar and wind energy production? The Chi-Com's produce the valuable components necessary for both. The "Inflation Increase Act" even increases that dependence.
All designed to push America in wind, solar and EV's long before we're ready. Fossil fuels move the world's economies. China and India have embraced this. It's beyond foolish to wreck our economy based on very sketchy demands of the global warming religious cult.
$3.17 in Chattanooga yesterday.
The side benefit from lower fuel prices is lower transportation cost on everything else which we should start to see showing up in prices soon.

I just filled up at 4.659/gal at Costco. It ain't moving down much here yet.
If there’s another global pandemic, a 40% drop in GDP, 10+% unemployment, and if the demand for oil completely collapses to the point oil is trading for negative dollars, then yes. For sure.
Covington/Taylor Mill is in the latest price battle with Wilder across the Licking River ranging from $3.41 to $3.47.
Many E. Cincy stations are finally down to $3.99 with Sam's Club at $3.75.

The cost of gas is dropping steadily here, and I've found a way to get rich. I filled up just yesterday, and the total was $1.80 cheaper than my previous fill up from 2 weeks ago. I'm going to invest the $1.80 in oil futures.
If my projected savings continues this trend for the next 5 years (my retirement goal) I'll be sitting on a small fortune.
