Well folks, it was fun while it lasted, but after a 99-day streak of declining gas prices, they have made a turn in the wrong direction. According to AAA, the national average for a price of regular gas now sits at $3.68 per gallon. That’s up one cent from yesterday. Mid-grade and premium gas also ticked upward overnight as well, but because you can’t buy a fraction of a penny of gas, they remained virtually unchanged. Diesel, on the other hand, went down by a penny to $4.93 per gallon.

These prices are still considerably lower than the records set for gas and diesel on June 14 and 19, respectively. Back then, regular gas hit $5.02 per gallon, and diesel was at $5.82. Now, prices are down $1.34 and $0.89, respectively. But still, the prices are a far cry from where they were even a year ago.

Oooooof.

I'm sure this isn't what Biden, the Democrats, and their allies in the media wanted to see. Looks like the short reprieve in gas prices is over, well in advance of the midterms.

Hopefully it goes up to $5/gallon again so people remember the cost of voting for Democrats.

Any upward bump is not going to last long (will we see a new thread for each penny in that direction?). Stocks jumped this week, demand remains depressed, the dollar hit a 20 year high today, prices fell in the commodity casinos, and the Fed is destroying the economy. Sorry.

Meh, just get an electric car. That’s the solution that “adult in the room” Jennifer Granholm offered to everyone.

The Dow FELL 522 points today, and is likely poised to fall beneath 30,000 tomorrow.

The Fed is not destroying the economy. Joe Biden's awful policies and reckless spending, that's who is destroying the economy.

Ugh. Team, "no data" strikes again.

Usually crafting an argument or rebuttal includes some sort of factual evidence.

Even Matlock should have taught you guys that.

So, while still grossly above historical levels a minor uptick is not some sort of crisis.

Now granted, this should still make the right wingers point in this thread that it still really sucks. Even if the new outrage is paper thin BS.

Op, why not just start a thread showing that despite coming down it's still awfully high????
