I just paid $2.89 for gas...
Usd for a gallon right? Blows my mind how cheap your fuel is.
It's literally a dollar cheaper at my Costco compared to the typical gas chains.
Seems a little...
Suspicious.
To be clear, even a dollar more is still comparatively cheap. I'm Australian and we're about $2 AUD / L, which is roughly USD$5/gal, and I know Europe and New Zealand are more expensive than us.
It's about $4.3/gal for petrol in Punjab, India
This is an edited tweet, but the timestamp is from March 2022, which was shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine. I think gas prices did go up at that point, but it was still idiotic for conservatives to blame Democrats in the United States for the economic fallout of a war in another continent.
Its the fucking news media. Anything from gas to Dijon mustard is the fucking GOPs complaint and they blast that shit straight into your eye globes non stop. It's like fox sits by the grocery store check out lane and waits for the the first woman with a stack of 200+ coupons to come by to ask what their programming should be.
I paid 2.31 today
Subsidized by your government
Lots of things are subsidized by the government. Almost every basic need of a society is subsidized in the US.
Not once Trump's in charge, I'm guessing.
It's still 5.19 around Seattle
Same. Prices are down or steady. This guy is making an issue where there isn't one for political points. And people will believe it!
This is a fake tweet by the way.
