These high ass gas prices won't be MAGA?!!

New York (CNN Business)US gasoline prices are becoming a real pain for motorists, particularly in the west.

A survey of more than 5,000 gas stations conducted by AAA shows that the average price for a gallon of regular gas is now $2.75, up 11% in the last month. And the average price is already above $3 a gallon in six western states: California, Hawaii, Washington, Oregon, Nevada and Alaska.

Four-dollar gas is the average in a couple of California counties. Many others are within a few cents of that mark, including San Francisco, where the average price is $3.98. The statewide average in California is up 20 cents a gallon, or 5%, to $3.83 in just the last week.

The Midwest has also been hit by price spikes. The average price in Chicago has jumped 46 cents a gallon, or 16%, to $3.27 in the last month.

Here in the great BLUE State of Democratically controlled California; you can thank the politicians who raised the cost through taxes to 47.3 cents a gallon.

Add to that the Federal Governments grab of 18.4 cents per gallon and 24.4 cents per gallon for diesel fuel, you get a whopping 65.7 cents a gallon. The companies that bring this fuel to our pumps only get about 10 cents.

So thank your LIBERAL politicians, not blame the oil companies or Trump.

Awesome post; I want to discuss this real briefly. What happens to these HIGHLY TOXIC batteries once they have served their short lives? The fools on the left think they are saving the planet; but it takes a LARGE amount of energy to create a battery, and then, there is the TOXIC waste and disposal.

While the left rails against nuclear energy and it's potential waste, they don't give five seconds of though to what is going to happen when all these batteries start dying and reach the end of their cycle.

A big reason gas prices are higher is because the dollar is falling against a variety of commodities, including oil and gold. The result of quantitative easing working its way into the wider markets. Another big reason is simply increased taxes. Both are caused by our own government.

I believe our golden state taxes gasoline more than any other state. And then when a republican is in the White House, they blame the President.

Unfortunately, California loves their taxes because the uber rich on the southern coast forgets the entire middle and northern (above San Fran sicko) Californians.

California is #7 of 50 states; or as Obama likes to say, FIFTYSEVEN. :laugh:
