PS. You people whining about $4 a gallon are losers. Live in WA state. We’ve been paying that in Seattle for years thanks to the democrats in Olympia.

And now you're paying $5.72 per gallon, thanks to the spike in prices caused by war in Iran. Which appears to be an all-time record, slightly exceeding even the very highest peak during the Biden years:

Gas prices have hit a record high in the Seattle area, as prices at the pump nationwide reach the highest they’ve been since the beginning of the war in Iran.

The average cost of a gallon of regular unleaded in the Seattle-Bellevue-Everett area on Tuesday was $5.724, according to AAA, the highest they’ve ever been on average. The price jumped about 11 cents in a week and 19 cents in a month.

Before the war in Iran, the highest price ever recorded in the Seattle area was $5.693, in June 2022.

The Republican Party certainly doesn't want to see those kinds of gas prices lasting through Memorial Day and the Fourth of July, which a months-long blockade would certainly entail. Perhaps Trump, who never has to run for re-election again, might not care.
