The AP has a Center rating on allsides.com, which rates media bias. Let's look up your news sources and see their rating. https://www.allsides.com/news-source/associated-press-media-bias Oh, and here's the article from AP withthe photo you posted. Why don't you actually read it for a more balanced approach to the issue of rising gas prices? https://apnews.com/article/why-are-gas-prices-rising-541819ca1aa4d3dc0a0206271f9f8589 |
"Goes up $2.50 per gallon?" Clearly you must be referring to when gas prices imploded at the height of the pandemic in 2020. That was a temporary anomaly due to extremely low demand.

I’m not a liar. DCUM posters are too stupid to know the difference between two separate towns in CA: One named Montecito and one named Mendocino. |
The old lady in Mendocino regularly charges $4+ more per gallon than the state average. She does that because she's the only gas station in a small, expensive tourist town. Someone else should open a gas station in Mendocino! They will probably be treated like a hero. |
$7 a gallon gas will happen and $10 possible. It’s just a matter of when.
Nothing to gloat about, this will he bad for the average American. |
