I just went to get some gasoline...

[kentuck]

and the price had gone up about .30 cents a gallon since the last time I had gotten gas.

Is gasoline going up in other places besides Colorado?

If there is one single consumer product that affects the working man more than any other, day in and day out, it is the price of gasoline.

What is causing this hike in prices?

1. Same here in FL.

[HassleCat]

2. I blame Reagan.

I blame him for everything.

[Angry Dragon]

3. good plan

[csziggy]

19. It's time to update - start blaming everything on Trump

Starting January 20th.

[StevieM]

22. Sorry but I'm not done bashing Reagan yet. (eom)

[csziggy]

23. We don't have to give up on Reagan

If it weren't for an aging mediocre movie star getting to be President, a narcissistic incompetent businessman would never have been considered for the job.

So blame Reagan for Trump and Trump for everything new that goes wrong.

4. Ask Trump What He's Going To Do About Rising Gas Prices....

I'm sure he's got a plan.

[Hekate]

6. He knows things. Many things. He'll tell you next Tuesday, maybe Wednesday. nt

[randome]

11. "The secret to life, my friend? I will tell you Tuesday. Maybe Wednesday."

5. Same thing here in New York.

[Nay]

7. Same here in Richmond VA. It was up about 25 cents.

[underpants]

12. Yep.

Couldn't use Kroger points yesterday and was surprised it was $2.19.

8. Our repug governor just raised the gas tax here.

So we're doubly fucked. You know, it's the oil deals drumpf is making with pootie.

[putitinD]

9. Here in MI., it went up 30 cents just before Christmas, but it always goes up for every Holiday and

then back down shortly after. I noticed it dropped yesterday by about 10 cents. That is about the usual cycle.

[Liberal In Texas]

10. Crude has been going up.

(Part of the reason for the stock market strength.) So when that happens gasoline goes up. Up .20 last week here, haven't checked this week.

[skylucy]

13. Trumps fault.

Gas prices....Trump's fault.
Rainwater leaking in our bedroom window....Trump's fault.
Broken garbage disposal....Trump's fault.
Hole in my sock...Trump's fault.

Works for me.

[KT2000]

14. yes - Washington state here n/t

[SticksnStones]

15. OPEC met, finally reached an agreement to slow down production and to dig into the glut of reserves

That's what raising the prices.

[Takket]

16. Thank OPEC

The key reason for the price increases is the November decision by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries to pare back oil production, and the group’s subsequent success in convincing Russia and several other major oil producers to do the same. On Tuesday, a barrel of benchmark U.S. crude closed at $52.49, down $1.24 a barrel or 2.31%.

17. Fine with me

I own a bunch of British Petroleum stock, and I've had it go up a ton lately. I loaded up when oil prices were low and big oil was suffering. I pay a little more at the pump and meanwhile my portfolio goes up thousands.

[kacekwl]

18. Thanks trump.

[bullwinkle428]

20. Russia's economy is ridiculously dependent upon the price of oil, so it shocks me

not the least bit that we're starting to see gas prices on this rise. The only surprising part is that it's happening so soon.

[McCamy Taylor]

21. It's because Russia needs higher oil prices.
