I bought gas yesterday outside Chicago for $3.14/gallon (Illinois has the highest gasoline prices in the upper Midwest), a price that made me wonder how much gasoline costs in other states.

Ohio: $2.22 in Union City

Louisiana: $2.24 in New Orleans

Tennessee: $2.32 in Knoxville

Alabama: $2.40 in Montgomery

North Carolina: $2.45 in Boone

Georgia: $2.56 in Lawrenceville

Illinois: $2.85 in Joliet

Michigan $2.98 in Baldwin

Missouri: $2.40 in Concord

New York: $2.63 in Levittown

Pennsylvania: $2.86 in Philadelphia

Texas: $2.15 in Austin

When Sweet Potato Hitler left office, the national average price of gasoline was about $2.72/gallon.

Of course, the prices listed above are local prices; there's obviously variation within each state but those numbers are close to the states' averages. The current national average price for gasoline is $3.14/gallon.

I guess that explains why republicans stopped talking about the price of gasoline.

And before you start crying about Biden robbing the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), the Biden administration sold that oil for $95/barrel and repurchased 40 million barrels for the SPR for $77/barrel. They can continue to top off the SPR today for even less: oil is currently $69/barrel.

Thanks, Dark Brandon. And thanks Kamala, please carry on-ala.
