The price of gas has dropped sharply. SOME PLACES HAVE DROPPED MORE THAN A DOLLAR A GALLON...
About 9 weeks ago local gas prices peaked. Have you noticed? Prices appear to be going down sharply. Last month, some stations near the highway were a little over $5 per gallon while the cheaper stations were peaking around $4.79 to $4.85I had business in the Hollywood area Wednesday and pleased to see a few stations as low as $4.17 per gallon for cash. I passed the opportunity and got gas in Fort Lauderdale for $4.27 I live in Palm Beach County and cheap gas was around $4.29 today.
A friend who has a membership with BJ's Club got gas on Friday and paid $3.89. That's a dollar less per gallon than he was paying in June!
Typically in the summer months, gas prices rise just when people go on vacation.
Since no one I know has the ability to control the price of oil as it gets to the refineries, all we can do for now is shop around.
There are a few phone apps that monitor gas prices so you can see who has the best price in your area.
Hopefully this is going to be a downward trend making consumers happy!
I pulled up a 6 month chart from the website gasbuddy to confirm my suspicion and the national average was $5.02 on June 12 and $4.40 on July 22. Yes, going down.

The inspiration for this blog was another blog that stated fuel prices were skyrocketing, as in presently happening. That wasn't factual. Prices peaked weeks ago. It made a claim from outdated information as prices were declining. Since I posted this blog, the other blog title was changed and now compares it with a previous administration and that Biden supporters being happy with the high price of fuel.
Was it something I said?
(title edited because some people mistakenly thought I said gas prices were a dollar a gallon. I said they dropped a dollar a gallon) But that's okay, you can still complain about it.

It's a very busy station in front of the Wal-Mart and there was a tanker pulling up for more.
This afternoon, they dropped to $3.95
it's not just our 401k's and such taking hits from this misadministration. pretty much every thing is up, and still going. just because national reserves are tapped with more imports, doesn't mean o'biden is good. he's worse than ever because so many think he's defendable and go to great lengths to lie and cover for his incompetent actions. he and his party have continually sold us out.
the politics of 2020 where shutting every thing down against trump's recommendations was just the start of it. we'll be lucky to ever get back down to $2 a gallon gasoline again. EV's are extremely far from the answer but many won't read just how bad the lies of "green" really are.
guess that's why china can purchase about $1.9 billion dollars of farmland in the u.s. and more. is it another 10% for the big guy?
gas prices are still up no matter how people try rationalizing it. unreasonably so due to policies against the citizens and nation. their oaths to the people and country mean nothing. truly only working for themselves for power and control.
when search engines say it's only been $4 dollars and change as the highest paid around here, they're lieing. it went over $5.40 for months. that was for the 87 octane. it was higher still at times.

You forgot to mention the important fact that refining Tar Sand bitumen is extremely expensive and environmentally very damaging.
Had the Canadian pipeline continued, the cost of gasoline would have gone higher and for longer.
