kang9400@reddit
šššš gotta love those liberal states
GenX_Leo@reddit (OP)
You do... because they subsidies the trash southern states...
kang9400@reddit
Iām in the Midwest where fuel prices are the usual 20%. I actually relocated from the south to here bc of the rates. Smooth rolling since.

If only the other team didnāt think men could get pregnant too this could have been avoided.

"I hate gay people so much I voted for a pedophile conman who will fuck me over, destroy the economy, and start another war in the Middle East"
BooDBangz@reddit
Iām so opposed to people rejecting objective reality that Iām willing to vote for anyone other than the person that said they want to use tax dollars to fund sex change operations for incarcerated illegals.
BooDBangz@reddit
Yeah, wasnāt an issue until mentally ill dudes started showing up in womenās locker rooms.
filthy_lucre@reddit
9 year-olds can't get pregnant either bubba
OsBaculum@reddit
Unfortunately they sometimes can. And that's the problem. Cuz he and his think "If she can bleed, she can breed!"
Wizard_with_a_Pipe@reddit
The other team believes everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect whether you agree with their lifestyle or not. That government has no business interfering with the private lives of the citizens. That personal medical decisions are between a doctor and patient and nobody else. And that other people's genitals are none of your business unless you are in an intimate relationship with them. It's the Republicans that are obsessed with 0.001 percent of the population they have never met.
OrbitOfSaturnsMoons@reddit
You're suggesting Trump was elected because trans men exist?
CUBuffs1992@reddit
Who the fuck actually thought men could get pregnant? Yall took the most extreme people and used that as your example to fear monger. The thing with the people like Biden and Harris is they wouldnāt have changed shit. They were the status quo.
Handsoffmydink@reddit
His only post is covering up that his dogs killed his neighbors cat (but they are honestly just the sweetest dogs with NO aggressionā¦) lol
Oh, and that the age gap between him and his wife is 7 years, so when he was 18 his wife was 11.
Gross.
It all checks out as one would expect!
dersnappychicken@reddit
So much worse the other guy fucking kids for decades under the eye of the Israeli government who blackmailed him into a war in Iran. Thank god you didnāt have to learn pronouns of people thatāll never care to be around you.
Jaclaran@reddit
Worked for Arnold Schwarzenegger.
theherbfarmer@reddit
Your team fucks kids and commits war crimes and makes life miserable for everyone. Congrats! So much winning!

Also cali has wrecked the oil refinement/processing plants. It was almost $7 avg for gasoline in cali a bit two years ago and that was before he was back.
Timmy98789@reddit
California wrecked them or companies using that as a cop out?
https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=63944#:~:text=Phillips%2066%20announced%20plans%20to%20close%20its,business%20in%20California%20would%20become%20increasingly%20challenging
GabtsbyForaDay@reddit
Both. Newsoms benefactor was getty, an oil billionaire heir. Who helped fund 10 of his businesses. He isnāt going to bite the hand that fed him. We have the highest fuel taxes totaling 90cpg. While not crazy drop if we arenāt taxed do you think california having the highest gas prices averaging a dollar to three dollars higher than elsewhere has something to do with him and or our state legislature because if it was just oil greed why wouldnāt every state be closing in on $7 per gallon?
Timmy98789@reddit
Valero and Phillips 66 was on the way out, this was just a perfect excuse. You don't up and decide to close down multi billion dollar refineries. Counting pipeline as storage is comical and they didn't like that.Ā
Oh yeah, the taxes are higher than other states, that can't be refuted. Where does California predominantly get its crude oil from? How many pipelines are crossing over the Rockies to other states?Ā
It is definitely both. Politicians pumping and dumping, they don't care.Ā
Shits fucked up, yo!
GabtsbyForaDay@reddit
Yeah they were for a while but the reason is still because of california. Iām for helping curb emissions and all but being too progressive too fast harms everything usually.
Yeah man and many politicians have their hand in ev stuff ao they make money pushing it.
Timmy98789@reddit
You understand the storage requirements and the refineries pitched a fit because they were including pipelines and that got squashed. Price manipulation due to limited storage has been an ongoing issue.Ā
Yeah, you don't understand the full picture and that's ok.Ā
GabtsbyForaDay@reddit
Also going from about 40 refineries to less than 15 is a huge factor. It ha been ongoing for decades with cal state and oil companies. And no one fully gets the full picture as there is so much not even talked about that happens behind closed doors that never sees the light of day. Itās all a game to the elite, and you and i are just at the bottom. Havenāt looked much into the storage but fines can go up to a million a day is definitely huge, and the cost to build new storage isnāt going to be cheap. Companies donāt just eat costs, and cali has stringent over the top requirements.
Nippon-Gakki@reddit
No, the average was $5.25 in April 2024 (source US EIA). I did see a few higher in some areas but I have never once paid more than I did this morning for 87.
GabtsbyForaDay@reddit
Sorry meant late 2023. Couldnāt remember the time frame. And in los angeles county gas it was higher than elsewhere. I have two pictures i found from sept 19 then the 28th and it went from 6.39 to 6.69 for 87.
lemonjuice707@reddit
$5.92 and depending how long youāve been in the state. The average all time high is $6.43
https://gasprices.aaa.com/?state=CA
theboywthagreenscarf@reddit
Bullshit. I was fueling up at about 5 a gallon like 4 months ago.
ksyoung17@reddit
Part of the answer here.
Valero got whacked by the state in 2024 for VOC emissions that, certainly were over the limit, but evidence suggests they didn't spend 24 hours a day dumping tons of organic volatiles into the atmosphere. It was a percentage of the time the sensors failed to detect and filter properly.
CA didn't care, and fucked them, so, they'll shut down and get the hell outta CA.
Jamo3306@reddit
It's an actual CRIME that no one is papering the Gas Boys with little Trump, "i did that" stickers! COME ON YALL! Amazon and Etsy are waiting!

I feel like a dumbass leaving mine at home this hitch.š¤”
TruckinTuba@reddit
It's California, its always higher there, if you dont like it, move
GoodGoodGoody@reddit
Great idea.
Which of the remaining states didnāt have fuel spike this last month?
So
Much
Winning.
TruckinTuba@reddit
My state had a fuel spike, but its still $3 less than yours š¤·āāļø
GoodGoodGoody@reddit
So youāre saying youāre paying a hell of a lot more this month?
Thatās quite a flex.
You really showed me.
TruckinTuba@reddit
Not really no, I dont drive a whole lot
GoodGoodGoody@reddit
Oh, your word was āspikeā.
My mistake, I though you knew that spike means a hell of a lot more. So sorry, Iāll go slower for you.
TruckinTuba@reddit
You're just mad You're in California š
GoodGoodGoody@reddit
Really? I donāt feel mad.
And If you say iām in Calif then Iāll just have to believe you.
But enjoy the winning of paying a looooot more at the pump for Trumpās Israel war in Iran.
TruckinTuba@reddit
My spending hasn't changed šš
GoodGoodGoody@reddit
Cooooool
Enjoy being parked. Thatāll really stick to the libs.
TruckinTuba@reddit
I don't parl šš im hourly
GoodGoodGoody@reddit
Awesome.
Guess fuelās free for you folk and in no way will your employer have to make tough decisions.
Glad you got it all figured out.
So much winning.
TruckinTuba@reddit
For someone who's not mad, you sure seem to have a bone to pick with literally everything š
GoodGoodGoody@reddit
Hey man you got it aaaaaall figured out.
The whole nation could learn from your secret to escaping sky-high fuel prices.
So wise.
So much winning.

Why anyone would live in California is beyond me. Must love being taxed
NegusTyGaming-YPSTFU@reddit
Ohh the California hate be funny asf, donāt act like if it wasnāt for Cali all of the other states wouldnāt be shit, California literally carries A VAST MAJORITY of the USA ECONOMYā¦as to why ppl live in California itās far nicer and wayyyy more enjoyable then the other states by a long shot
GabtsbyForaDay@reddit
Yeah i love and hate california, specifically southern cali. Literally a culture dump(good and bad), good weather with ocean, mountains & desert close, a lot to do from major and small music scenes with it being a big stop for world tours with i think like 10 or more big venues that can hold 5-10,000 people and many more small ones, lot of entertainment in a small area like six flags, disney, knotts, & universal. The policies & most politicians are trash and our money gets wasted horribly by the billions.
GoodGoodGoody@reddit
I mean the Calif economy is bigger than Russia (and MAGA folk know all about Russia) and Japan and itās the most populous state⦠they must be doing soooooomething right.
MoistExcellence@reddit
No need to act. California is shit and in decline.
NegusTyGaming-YPSTFU@reddit
You got it
GoodGoodGoody@reddit
Well the good news is fuel didnāt astronomically spike in any of the other 49 states this last month.

AutumnBrooks2021@reddit
No one gives a shit about that Democrat cesspool of a state. Howās that high speed rail working out for you? Newscum wants another $125 billion for it just to go from San Francisco to LA. Heāll probably jack the gas taxes up even higher to pay for it lol.

Before I down vote you... nevermind you not worth it...

Omg, please donāt down vote me. Lmao. Youāre just as pathetic as these other democrat fools.

This is the real terminally online TDS š

Youāre the lunatics that have TDS. We canāt go a single week without some asshat Democrat crying about something lmao. Get a life loser.
Deadmemeusername@reddit
Youāre the one complaining about a state hundreds of miles away from you lol. You should probably focus on fixing shit in Buckeyeland before wagging your finger at anyone else.
AutumnBrooks2021@reddit
Iām simply commenting on another weekly crybaby Democrat post. If you donāt like it then too bad. No one cares what you like or think. You can always take your opinion and sit on it and rotate.
Deadmemeusername@reddit
Okay āWinner.ā
AutumnBrooks2021@reddit
Ok loser. Any day he makes you cry is a great day.
GoodGoodGoody@reddit
Whoās āheā?
Who are you simping for?
AutumnBrooks2021@reddit
You canāt use that one brain cell you have left to figure it out.
GoodGoodGoody@reddit
Have the guts to say it.
AutumnBrooks2021@reddit
I could write it in crayon and youād still not be able to figure it out.
GoodGoodGoody@reddit
Uh huh.
So whoās āheā?
AutumnBrooks2021@reddit
Iām sorry but youāre just too dumb for me to waste my time on you. If you canāt figure it out on your own then thatās pretty sad.
GoodGoodGoody@reddit
You said youāre āhappy when he makes others cryā.
Iām just asking who the he is.
Seems like something youād be proud to say.
AutumnBrooks2021@reddit
Iām just having fun seeing how long it takes for you to figure it out. Thanks for keeping me entertained lol
GoodGoodGoody@reddit
Itās interesting watching you scramble for excuses and lame insults.
Who is āheā youāre simping for?
Timmy98789@reddit
Keep rotatingĀ
theboywthagreenscarf@reddit
Go enlist and go to Iran. If you actually have balls and believe what you say.
AutumnBrooks2021@reddit
You do the same snowflake.
wittywillync@reddit
Yeah I'm tired of getting on Reddit and seeing people cry over politicians that don't care about them (left or right). š
Deadmemeusername@reddit
You do realize that Newson is gonna be out in like 10 months right? Soon youāll need another Californian boogeyman to tilt at windmills against.
AutumnBrooks2021@reddit
Iām sure those genius Californian Democrats will elect another idiot just like him.
OsBaculum@reddit
And I'm sure you'll seethe about it from Ohio lol
AutumnBrooks2021@reddit
No, sorry. Im not pathetic like you are. No TDS here.
OsBaculum@reddit
You know people can read this thread, right?
AutumnBrooks2021@reddit
No way, I thought Reddit read everything out to us. Good lord youāre simple minded.
OsBaculum@reddit
You could at least try for a comeback that makes sense lol
GoodGoodGoody@reddit
I mean Calif is the most populous state and if it was its own country itād be the 4th largest economy globally ahead of Russia (you MAGA folks love Russia), Japan, South Korea, any one on Europe except Germany, any one in South America,ā¦
But youāre right, who cares?

Capable-Invite3237@reddit
The real idiots are the ones that think either party is for the people 𤣠it's 2026 & y'all still worried about right & leftā¦. Divided & controlled as usual. That's why NONE of this will change.
petit_cochon@reddit
The reason none of it will change is because people like you refuse to hold anyone accountable. Trump started this war. Trump is why gas is high. He is the leader of the Republican party.
Capable-Invite3237@reddit
Yea, I'm the problem because I feel that WE THE PEOPLE are stronger together & need to come together to get rid of all these evil people in high places lmaooo.ā¦At this point, I'm convinced its just a comprehension issue š have a blessed evening.
GenX_Leo@reddit (OP)
I found one yall... mmm he so sure of himself...
OsBaculum@reddit
If there are two evils, and you vote for the greater one, you don't get to pat yourself on the back and act enlightened. Not saying you did, necessarily. But it's a pattern I've noticed.
GoodGoodGoody@reddit
Except I donāt remember Clinton, Obama, Biden picking an utterly pointless without any purpose at all and without any ally support Middle East war all to stay on the good side of Israel.
Now I doooooo remember Bush Jr invading Iraq for their weapons of mass destruction. Hey howād that search for WMDs go anyhow.
TLDR
Piss off with your the BOTH SIDES crap that getās trotted out every time a Republican fucks up, which is quite a lot.

Funny how they didnāt defend trump but pointed out (correctly) that CA gas prices are due to state leadership
WorknForTheWeekend@reddit
Not being able to form a complete sentence without glitching out into strawman word salad gave it away
lemonjuice707@reddit
Okay? They arenāt wrong still. The prices OP is complaining about is due to state leadership, not trump.
WorknForTheWeekend@reddit
Diesel is up $2+ on average in CA in the last month. There have been no new changes in CA recently. Iām sorry bud ya brainwashed
lemonjuice707@reddit
No one said it wasnāt it. These outrages prices are due to local government and not the federal. This is why you only see the CA prices tending because they have the biggest shock value.
When in actually itās up 35%. Certainly nothing to scoff at but a drop in the bucket compared to the regular price.
WorknForTheWeekend@reddit
35% is not a ādrop in the bucketā itās 35%! Sure the nominal base price is more, as is everything in CA; itās the most desirable and sought after place to live in the country, and combined with being among the highest incomes in the country, the supply and demand forces at play are nothing unusual. But fuel being up *35% sure is

GoodGoodGoody@reddit
You realize diesel prices with state averages are easy to check. But if youāre saying that your unicorn state hasnāt had a huge spike in the last month, we weāll just have to believe you.
GenX_Leo@reddit (OP)
They know, they just want to be stupid...
Independent_Leg7358@reddit
There has been a huge spike, but I stockpiled a bit of fuel. Shopped fuel hard. A lot of stations price diesel when purchased. Those places didn't price jump fast until they ran out. Other places dropped back when they hit a pre contracted delivery. I'm checking gas buddy multiple times per day, along with my fleet card pricing. Tomorrow might be my first pricy fill up.
FrYoungtrad@reddit
What is the deal with GasBuddy? I don't normally fuel with diesel, but when I did for a cross country trip for a week that app seemed totally inaccurate everywhere east.
GoodGoodGoody@reddit
Ohhhhhhhh, thatās how it works.
Fuel prices slammed to the ceiling but you got some jerry cans so youāve outsmarted it all.

Now explain to me the spike in the other 49 states. Was it clean air or a pointless war?
Senior_Bad_6381@reddit
You wanted "clean" fuel. š

We want clean fuel! But our leaders insist on staining it with blood.
