Over $5/gal in western NV. I’m starting to think Mr Trump is a clueless nut bag flailing around in the darkness with a stick, and Mr Netanyahu just keeps starting wars cuz that what he needs to stay in power. OK to be fair I’ve thought Trump is an idiot for more than 20 years. Really talented at creating chaos and not much else.

Fact of the matter is, American presidents tend to have little to no direct influence over the short term price of oil as it is a global commodity subject to all kinds of variables. In the short term. there are some aspects such as building and releasing the strategic reserves, but those aren't long term solutions compared to diplomacy with OPEC which happens over decades, (side note, the strategic reserves that the current admin released a couple of weeks ago in attempt to manage prices were built up under the Biden admin starting in 2023. To be fair, the previous admin also released SRs built up during the Trump 1 admin -generally, its a longer timeline than one admin to the following).

That being said, it is the case here in 2026 that the price of oil as a global commodity is directly tied to the decisions ultimately made by an American president based on, in his own words, "a feeling." You know it, I know it, every body knows this to be true. The blame simply cannot be objectively directed anywhere else. So here we are.

With Trump Derangement Syndrome on the Left, and Trump Worship Syndrome on the Boomer Right, it’s no wonder why Americans can’t seem to figure out that our politicians are all bribed by AIPAC or blackmailed by Epstein to keep the status quo. No matter what color tie the current president wears…we get mass migration, devalued currency, degenerate media, and wars for you-know-who…

Yeup, from the regulatory standpoint which everyone likes to point at as the driver, the needle has moved very little either way. Gas prices under poopy pants went crazy largely b/c post-Covid demand (Trump should’ve never shut the economy down and Biden rode it out WAY too long) and Russia starting a war. The charts are there for everyone to see, it’s a definitive down trend for oil for 4 years up until poopy brains was talked into a war because 99% of our politicians are PDF files and a certain country has all their tea.

Anyways, saw $4.99 diesel locally last night. Truck stops on I94 were much higher - in the $5.50 range. I’m guessing they are carrying a lower cloud for trucks going north.

"...Gasoline prices displayed on Trading Economics are based on over-the-counter (OTC) and contract for difference (CFD) financial instruments and are intended to provide a general market reference only. These prices do not represent official benchmark prices...."
I don't fully understand what I am looking at on this site, but I do not believe this is intending to represent average fuel prices at the pump.
