I would think eased down is more appropriate with a 19 cent drop from that level.

It is the fastest drop in that timeframe since March 2020.

And the right is complaining about how fast the drop is.

The right would complain about rainbows and unicorns too.

Gas prices are dropping - period.

Also Biden and D's are trying to pass a $52 billion law (USICA) that would invest in US science/tech to boost US industry, support research and fund semiconductor manufacture in the US (and not require us to rely on China). McConnell has pledged to kill it unless D's back off on a budget package that would fund Medicare by taxing those who rake in over $400K / year. The measure McConnell demands withdrawn would also allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices at lower costs.

Yep. Have been traveling up/down the East coast for weeks. Finding gas at approx. $4.50-4.60/gal. Also seen many, many trucks delivering all sorts of things: Michaels, dollar store, food stores, cars, Prime . . . and those are just the ones I recall making a note of. Economy IS moving despite the lying bullsh-- talking points being circulated.

Thankfully, they aren't connected to the national grid. I guess freedom and capitalism and a lack of regulation aren't producing sufficient energy

Yesterday paid $6.39 a gallon to refill my rental car in southern California before returning it.

So what? Everyone knows CA has the highest gas prices in the nation for various reasons, including higher overall taxes and more regulations. Gas prices are much higher in Europe than they are in the US for similar reasons.

If you haven't started yet, use the Gas Buddy app to find the cheapest gas prices around you. They can vary widely even within a few miles. Or get a Costco membership for cheaper gas.

You probably used an airport gas station, which are among the most expensive, and, CA is among the most expensive per gallon states.

I paid $3.99 in the broader DC area, so there is that.

I just paid $4.63 in Montgomery County, Maryland.

The Republicans are openly hoping for the economy to crash and working to make that happen. That’s their hope. They projected that on all of us when Trump was still in office, but they’re pushing hard for collapse.

Gas is 6.05 literally just outside the entrance of LAX. It’s $5.99 with GasBuddy cash back discount.
