Donald did this.


The President has no control over gas prices.


The president has little control over reducing prices but the President can increase the price. Jan 2026 $55 April 2026 $141 delivered price.


What a mysterious power.

My sister in Georgia said that when she filled up all the other pumps have $20 or $30 dollars showing. People can’t afford to fill the tank and are just putting in enough to make to tomorrow.


This is what’s going to happen more and more as the prices go up. People will adjust their gas usage. Employers should consider following suit and allow more WFH at least temporarily.

Looks like Trump is going to hit Iran’s civilian infrastructure and oil facilities. Iran will hit back and it will takes 5-7 years to rebuild oil capacity. Oil prices will go above $250.

Especially in the DMV area, because we don't have abundant public transportation?

I would love to use public transportation for my commute that is 40 miles and all in MD. It's impossible. Limited schedule and about 2 hours to get there and about 3 miles walking. Not everyone works in DC or near reliable public transportation. I worked from home 3 days a week pre COVID. We need to get back to telework for certain situations like high gas prices.

Mehdi Tabatabaei, deputy for communications at the Iranian president’s office, has said Iran will open the Strait of Hormuz only after receiving compensation for war damages, paid via a “new legal regime” based on transit fees.

Tabatabaei also said Trump has resorted to profanity “out of sheer desperation and rage” and accused the US president of sparking an “all-out war in the region.”

“The Strait of Hormuz will reopen only when, under a new legal regime, the damages from the imposed war are fully compensated from a portion of the transit toll revenues,” Tabatabaei posted on social media.

The gas shortages will continue and worsen.

You could drive or bike to a Metro or MARC station.

Members of Opec+ said on Sunday that repairing energy facilities damaged in recent attacks would be costly and take a long time, and would potentially hit global oil supplies well into the future. They also stressed the “the critical importance of safeguarding international maritime routes to ensure the uninterrupted flow of energy”.

The group, which consists Opec members and other oil-producing countries, reportedly agreed in principle to raising output by 206,000 barrels a day in May, according to Reuters. However, the agreement remains largely symbolic while Iran continues to effectively block the strait of Hormuz.

The strait is a vital trade artery though which about 100 tankers would typically pass each day. Approximately 20% of the world’s total crude oil goes through the narrow waterway and Iran’s blockade has severely constrained distribution.

The conflict has now resulted in the largest disruption to oil supplies in history.

We obviously know who is behind this escalation when everyone else in the world doesn't want this war.

It’s time to stop the war and paid the price needed to get the oil flowing. The Iranians live up to deals they sign.
