This is an example of what's called "Cherry Picking Data", for instance, you could go back one month to before Obama was elected and see gas was at $3.62 and just 2 months before that at $4.12.

[–]winky51986 2 points3 points ago

obama has as much to do with the price of a gallon of gas as he does with a gallon of milk.

[–]HotRodLincoln 1 point2 points ago

In a lot of places Aldi has gallons of milk for $2. Otherwise I still wouldn't be buying it.

Gas going up is economic proof the world economy is getting better. Demand has increased. A side effect of the recession was falling gas prices as demand went down. Econ 101.

[–]jawshoeuh 1 point2 points ago

people believe shit like this. believe it enough to hand write notes and leave them at the gas pump.

this country, man. ...fuck.

[–]smooshead 1 point2 points ago

Yeah gas was about 3.30 or more in the summer of '08. That's such a b.s. stat.

[–]ttnorac -3 points-2 points ago

Either way, its expected to be well above $4 this summer. That's what happens when we lose so much ground to China and we fill our government with spineless dim-whits.

Its a sign our economy is getting worse in comparison to other global markets. Perhaps we could get cheaper gas from China that they drilled out of the Gulf of Mexico for us.
