Trump is back…the “Now What” thread

I’m sure glad gasoline prices are down Donald. Heard you say it a few days ago.
Question is ?
Why did gas prices shoot up so much yesterday? In my AO gas went from $2.64 to $ 2.89 over night. I have a college degree and I admit that different maths wasn’t my best grades…But I know what’s up and down. 🤬
Check your local/state taxes - did the local/state politicians manipulate the price?

Nothing has happened locally that I know of. Shell was $2.89 ..mid range was in the low $4.00’s….93 octane was $4.39. I’ve got 2 Tacomas , a 2014 that uses reg. My 98 Taco has a Supercharger that gets by on 93 octane , but usually mid grade that I have to add Lucas octane booster. I put the SC on it in 2000. I could buy barrels of VP racing fuel for less than 87 octane costs today per gallon.

MAY 2025 DEFINITION OF 86 :
Eighty-six or 86 is American English slang used primarily in the hospitality industry and sometimes in the military.
In the hospitality industry, it is used to indicate that an item is no longer available, traditionally from a food or drinks establishment, or referring to a person or people who are not welcome on the premises. Its etymology is unknown, but the term seems to have been coined in the 1920s or 1930s.
Military personnel might use "86" informally to refer to scrapping equipment (e.g., "That old radio got 86'd") or ending a plan or mission (e.g., "The op was 86'd due to bad weather").
