Gas Buddy says the price of gas in Texas is $2.33/gal statewide. AAA has it as $2.43/gal. The U.S. Energy Information Administration has it at $2.36/gal. (I believe that's regular unleaded, or 87 octane.)

Lastly, the DOW is STILL not the economy.

Report came out yesterday saying tariffs have had little to no effect on inflation.

And I recall leftists bragging about the stock market when it suited them under Biden.

Oh, and imagine where we would be if Harris had won? Probably with Maduro as our President.

Is this the report referenced above? From the Fed, no less. Not exactly known for being a Trump ally.

Tariffs may lower inflation, SF Fed research suggests

"...TACO is alive and well... blah blah blah."

And yet, the tariffs are working, Tom. Eat it.

3A (since you made this thread): The left would be falling all over themselves trying to congratulate Kamala on anything and everything they could think of even though it would be detrimental to the U.S. Then again, that's how the left is. They don't love what America is and should be. They love what they want America to be: Just like Venezuela. (You know, before we captured Maduro.)

Wait, I didn't make this thread. Elvis did. Months ago. And I'm also not the one who just resurrected it. :)

"But... but... MUH T.A.C.O.! YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO ME! ORANGE MAN BAD! REEEEEEE! "

And the left loses on yet another point. (Because if Reuters, a leftist legacy media outlet, is admitting it, then it's definitely true.)

3A: My fault. I meant to say you made the post I was replying to. (Edit: Fixed it.)

We're at $2.46. Down from $2.89 when Trump took office.

Wow. It's $2.29 locally.

Not sure. They were talking about tariffs not affecting inflation while I was doing something else, as usual. I didn't catch what article they were referencing.

yeah that analysis said it would lower inflation but increase unemployment. Definitely a resounding victory for tariffs lol.

Costco in Fargo, ND, is two cents over two dollars.

Your question reminds me of this song by (perhaps) the greatest songwriter of all time.

Yeah, I saw that. It's a SWAG though in either direction, imo.

The title of this thread "Trump Slump" makes me laugh.

I get gas once every month or two, so I don't even pay attention to the price.

Can anyone even drive a car in Fargo in January?

Anyway, AAA has the ND average at $2.54 ($2.24 in Cass County). Doesn't Costco prices include like a $.20/gallon discount for members?
