Yeah... I knew a narcissist like you, would give us an evil laugh,
because we all know you ARE an Internet stalker.
"Laugh Out Loud" is "evil", now?
Uhhh... yeah!

Just Drove By My OTHER Gas Station - $2.47 - THANK YOU, President Trump!
Not clear why you're thanking him
Because my gas prices are WAY lower than when Biden was the demented-inflater-in-chief.
Not clear why you're blaming Biden either.
Besides, finding nationwide gas prices is no where NEAR an exact science. Too many variables.
Good thing then that the EIA breaks down their reporting data by
refinery region too:
<

And you're in "Gulf Coast (PADD 3)", so here's your local data:
<
https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/pet_pri_gnd_dcus_r30_w.htm>
Including by grade; here's Regular (data back to 1992):
<
https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=PET&s=EMM_EPMR_PTE_R30_DPG&f=W>
And the most current data there is as follows:
2025-May
05/05 $2.722 05/12 $2.692 05/19 $2.786 05/26 $2.726
Average gas prices are typically calculated by taking a survey of gas stations in a particular area, such as a city, state, or
country. Here's a general overview of the steps involved:
Gas price data is collected from a sample of gas stations, usually through a combination of methods, including:
Manual surveys: Employees or contractors visit gas stations and record the prices.
Electronic data feeds: Some gas stations provide electronic data feeds of their prices.
Crowd-sourcing: Some organizations collect price data from consumers who report prices through mobile apps or websites.
The collected data is then weighted to ensure that the sample is representative of the area. This may involve:
Weighting by location: Prices from gas stations in urban areas may be given more weight than those from rural areas.
Weighting by station type: Prices from high-volume gas stations may be given more weight than those from low-volume stations.
The weighted prices are then averaged to calculate the overall average gas price for the area.
The average price may be calculated using a simple arithmetic mean or a more complex formula that takes into account factors such
as taxes, transportation costs, and profit margins.
So? Which AI did you use to write that for you?
Some organizations that calculate average gas prices include:
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)
AAA (American Automobile Association)
GasBuddy
OPIS (Oil Price Information Service)
These organizations may use slightly different methods to calculate average gas prices, but they all aim to provide a
representative snapshot of the current market price of gasoline in a particular area.
Ditto ... and FYI, I've been citing the EIA all along. Its data goes
back 30+ years with the same methodologies (eg, normalized) which is statistically much more reliable for assessing long term trends.
I'll take $2.47 for the Trump Win!
TWELVE cents cheaper than last week.
Only allegedly so at your cherrypicked gas station which you've not
identified for any independent verification of your claim. In the
meantime, the EIA data from a much larger local sample size says that
you're making a nebulous claim, for the Week-over-Week price change for
5/19 vs 5/26 is $2.786 vs $2.726 = -0$.06/gallon and with the two week
change being $2.692 vs $2.726 = +$.034/gallon.
Suck on that, -homo -habilis.
No need to, because I already know how much it sucks to live in FL,
especially with your local real estate market. Case in point, how much
you're paying for P&C Insurance (if you can afford it)?
FYI, if you don't want to post the raw values, take your annual policy
cost and divide by how much Zillow says your home was worth back in
January and divide to get the "%-of-sales-value" annual cost and post
that. If you're lucky, its less than 2%. Feeling lucky, punk?
Also... my eggs are WAY cheaper now.
Which has to do with flocks being decimated by bird flu, not by
whoever's POTUS. And you don't need to believe me: go ask TomE on CSMA
to explain it to you, as he was in the chicken business.
