U.S. gas prices jump as Iran war and supply issues push averages above $4
The U.S. average price for regular gasoline jumped to about $4.433 per gallon on Saturday, rising roughly 35 cents from a week earlier. The surge reflects Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and a string of refinery outages that tightened supplies and pushed crude and wholesale fuel costs higher. California prices hit as high as $7.50 per gallon in parts of Los Angeles, and some states saw weekly increases measured in the tens of cents. Higher pump prices will raise household transportation costs, add upward pressure on inflation, and could prompt more oil imports or policy responses.
Holy moly! 77% of Americans blame Trump for soaring gas prices — higher than Bush (71%), Obama (64%) or Biden (70%). Crosses ALL party lines: 95% Democrats, 82% Independents and 55% Republicans blame Trump! 64% say the Iran war is NOT worth higher prices. #TrumpsGasCrisis
Not so average hoser 🇺🇦🇨🇦25Serious question: WTF is wrong with the other 23%?!
experimental22.bsky.social18Really, this one should be 100%. It’s as obvious as the giraffe in the cognitive assessment that Trump likes to brag that he aced.
lyndapole9Only 77% it should be 100%
Obearwan_Kenobi8The other 23% only listen to FOX News
Emily6News should mention that the average price of diesel is $5.35/gal - and we ALL pay for that one because most everything everyone buys got to them or to the store on a truck, a diesel electric train and/or a marine diesel powered cargo ship.
J.M. Ó Comáin6That 45% of Republicans who don't blame Trump must be some special kind of stupid
Jeff Jones 🇨🇦🇺🇸🍻5I mean, it is directly his fault. With Biden you could at least blame Russia attacking Ukraine. That was outside his control. But Trump attacked Iran which directly resulted in gas prices getting where they are now.
Ecoprairiepainter5Neither Bush, Obama not Biden actually closed the Strait of Hormuz . That’s how fucking stupid this prez is!
Holding Onto Hope5They’ll still vote for Republicans. It’s all about their hate.
evadtsujevad.bsky.social4MAGA types are seriously not happy with the gas prices or the war. They hate the gas prices and the gas companies along with Trump. They are pissed about the war because they think we should have carpet bombed them day 1 and Trump is being an idiot.
Climate News4Who are the morons bringing the 100% down to 77%?
Angie3I got the 100 piece "I did that" stickers. Been leaving them on the grocery store shelves and of course at the gas pumps.
Stockholm Fella3Is this how it's going to be in the strait for the coming years? Trump posting pictures of himself as Jesus and Iran trolling with Lego movies while no gas or oil passes through Hormuz? What’s the plan? Are the 5 000 troops Trump is pulling from Germany going straight to Iran?
Joy🦋💙🇺🇦🫶3And the oil and gas corporations are making big bucks!
mr-yoyito.bsky.social3Wait until it’s August and they are still up.
John Ignatius Riley2At the risk of sounding redundant, could someone please give me an argument for why he’s not responsible for higher gas prices?
Trump is faced with either sky-high gas prices or losing a war (and losing face). Or both. He has *zero* chances for any political victory. And either way, Iran is still gonna build nukes.
azeke57.bsky.social13At this point, I don't think he cares what happens anymore. He thinks he's winning because the stock market bubble is humming. He's making billions. The money has been better for him so he's winning in his warped mind. No rules, no laws, no regulations and the Supreme Court in his pocket. Nirvana.
EARNED MY SPURS: "HE'S AN IDIOT" 🐎10Iran is not going to forget his bullshit either
Melissa NicWitch of Clan Witch8And after being subjected to Trump's war, Iran will be absolutely convinced they need nukes.
DerMann516Stalemate. Destruction of the United States continues unabated. #ETTD
AprilSkies4Adding: Trump does not care about all of the people who are suffering b/c of his narcissistic and ignorant actions. Trump does not give a rat’s ass about anyone other than himself. And that is one big, diseased, disgusting hunk of rancid flesh.
ACeRo3Where are all those magas, truckers and farmers complaining about high gas prices 2 years ago?
Denis2Very good point, Dr.! I predict all THREE losses: face, gas, war. And, Iran leadership, being way smarter, will play the long game -- something own home-grown (Russian trained) imbecile could never learn.
greg602True !!! Now more than ever 💯
⛽ Average U.S. gas prices per gallon on May 2, per AAA ⛽ • Regular: $4.43 (⬆️ $1.45 since war in Iran began on Feb. 28) • Premium: $5.29 (⬆️ $1.43 since war began) • Diesel: $5.63 (⬆️ $1.87 since war began)
Michael B Lehrhoff12How about focusing on the blathering, incompetent buffoon who's directly responsible for this pointless disaster? Or are you afraid your licenses will be "examined", @nbcnews.com?? DO YOUR JOB.
mjody.bsky.social6We all need to thank the MAGA folks for voting in Trump.This is what they wanted.
Neil5UK Diesel equivalent price is now $9.58 per US gallon. £1.86 per litre
Joshua V. Saguaro5Republicans did this to us.
Skuzy44.99 in Indy(Indiana). Record price for us here.
SafeWaterCleanAir 💦☮️🌏🌍🌎2Consumers are getting hit twice for the gasoline for automobiles if they have a gasoline car and for the diesel and everything that we buy. Because everything has to be trucked or sent on a train for distribution.
On a call today, the CEO of Exxon said gas prices are going to go even higher. Talking about the Iran War, he said "the market hasn't seen the full impact of that yet." And when the war ends, he said it'll take 3-5 years to get back up to speed in some countries, like Qatar.
Jak16Hasn't seen the full impact? It's seen almost zero impact The last ships out of the Strait docked last week, the shortage has only just started
JThomasAlbert13Maybe this will be the catalyst that gets us to switch to renewables.
Emily9Doesn't happen every day, but this CEO is telling the truth. The real oil shock hasn't hit yet. It's like with a tsunami. What we've seen so far is like when the ocean drains away from the beach - it's shocking and confusing. But the 10+ story 400+ mph wave is still speeding towards us.
He was laughing gleefully while saying it, right?
comradebushwic.bsky.social4Continuing to vote for blue capitalism or red capitalism will never change this 🤷♂️. Blue politicians, red politicians, doesn't matter, they are both greedy capitalists that only care about profits.
David Minckler3Did he mention his profits?
RainsEnd🇨🇦3That's the bullshit they want consumers to believe. They're jacking up prices on a profit-taking spree. Here he threatens to overcharge for years from now.
sanityrules.bsky.social2In other words he doesn’t want to lower prices even after the crisis is over!!!!
RepugnantCon 2Complete opposite of what's coming out of the WH
Silhouetted.Devil2Renewables sure look like the path to go, I heard Germany has solar panels that are cheaper than wood.
I’m beginning to think gas prices may be the straw that breaks the camel’s back for the economy. I’ve been surprised to see the American consumer shrug off tariffs, months of layoffs and a brutal job market. But anecdotally it seems people aren’t able to ignore the results of Trump’s war in Iran.
Jaye Rich4This whole time in history has me fascinated by motivated reasoning. How does the human mind delegitimize the very obvious cause and effect of this moment if that same human mind thought it was a good idea to vote for Trump?
Adam2Of course. The news never sticks with a story and everyone forgets. Tomorrow's another day. But you drive everywhere in the US, right past a dozen gas stations. A constant reminder you need to drive less to pay rent, or eat less, or cancel a vacation. Day upon day of dread until you need the pump.
