Ooops! What we predicted about higher gas prices a couple of months ago... Never mind!
On April 28, Politico White House reporter Scott Waldman along with his sidekick, Eli Stokols, were confidently citing experts who predicted a big surge in gasoline prices due to the Iran war as you can see in "‘There’s a day of reckoning coming’: Energy experts expect another spike at the pump."

Increased here 46% since before the ill-conceived war.
Pssst! As of today, the price of crude oil is now the SAME as it was the day before the Iran war.
“Experts wrong”???
Not possible.
Multiple states installing new gas tax this week — as others plan to soon follow suit

Never quote California for gas prices or taxes or laws or elections or anything...
California is not normal. It’s on a different planet altogether; a parallel universe, if you will.
CA is about to RAISE gas taxes again? Good. It will help Steve Hilton in November.
Dems are all hoping that war will break out again this summer and gasoline prices will spike.
High oil prices during Biden’s regime were not a bug, they were a feature.
The way we avoided worse price spikes is with a huge depletion of our reserves. And lots of other countries depleting reserves at the same time helped also.
So people who think hey there really isn’t any risk, we weathered that one fine! Might not realize that we are far more vulnerable now than before to any issues from here, because obviously we can’t draw down our reserves again they are mostly gone. Same with many other countries...
so as gas prices decline to lows, the strategic oil reserves will be refilled.
the federal government sold the reserves near their highs to keep prices from rising higher.
Now they will be buying again at their lows. the government profits go into paying their bills.
It was a great military success.
They’re just going to cheat again and make sure that Hilton can’t win.
There’s no saving California while it’s all run by corrupt to the core democrats.
Sorry. I was referring to gasoline prices at my nearest filling station.
Bull-BLEEP-ico still have all their panties in a twist at the loss of the USAID money trough.
For YEARS, the Hussein/Biden/Harris Regime funneled $$$$$ to Politico with hundreds (thousands?) of “subscriptions.” Just how much of the $$$ was funneled back using their “10%s for all the Big Guys” has yet to be determined.
My best buddy, who lives behind enemy lines in Olympia, WA just told me today that the grand WA state mob in charge jacked up gas prices by 3, 4 cents a gallon. So, much for dropping prices in the Communist Republik of Washington State.
Your big assumption is that the price will stay low so that we can refill the reserve now at a lower price.
The point of my message is that because the reserves are critically low now, any additional event from here will have a radically different effect on prices than before.
At 68 bucks a barrel now would be a good time to fill back up
Correct
In ca there is no to big to cheat
Everyone knows they are cheating. So why hide it now?
