Egg 🍳 prices, my oh my….

I haven’t had any problems with gas prices for the last 5 years since I transferred to a work location that’s 13 miles from where I live from the one I used to work which was almost 40 miles.

But what I used to call my Trumpie gas price ($2.79) I didn’t see much of under President Biden.

I’m roughly paying $1.00 per day more to go to work right now than I did a few weeks ago. I think I can manage an extra $5.00 per week.

And BTW this is the second time I’m saying this. Not everyone even in Europe lives in the cities. There are a lot of people living in the Countrysides with no access to public transportation.

The EU pays a lot more for Gas ⛽️ period end of story.

So what you are saying is "I have a much shorter commute than the average American so screw them". Well guess what, the truckers who deliver the eggs you like to talk about are getting their clocks cleaned with the higher fuel prices. How long do you think it will be before those fuel prices start showing up at the super market?

Have you ever been to Europe? The "rural" areas in Europe are not that rural when compared to the US. If you live in small town outside of Munich and commute to work in the city you go to the train station park your car and hop on a train. You don't have that option in a lot of American cities. Just like you don't have that option of traveling between most cities in the US.

And yes they pay more for gas. But it is not "end of story" as much as you want it to be.

What I’m saying? WTF are you talking about? Is there something wrong with you? You do know that Gas prices have fluctuated since the day you were born for all sorts of reasons right?

People (Human Beings) live all over the place. Cities, Countryside’s, Mountains, Islands, and even Space Stations.

Been to Europe many times. I work for an Airline.

They still pay much more for Gas ⛽️ than we do. Still end of story.
 
And BTW I do highly encourage people who’ve been gone for a while from Airline Forums to come back but please try to make some sense.

It does make for much more interesting and engaging conversations.
 
Everything today is just one quick AI search query.

Based on data through early 2026, gasoline prices have fluctuated significantly under both administrations, often driven by global market forces, pandemic-related demand changes, and geopolitical events.
Gas Prices Under Donald Trump (First Term: 2017–2021)
  • Average Prices: Gasoline prices were relatively stable and generally lower, averaging roughly $2.57 per gallon over his term.
  • Low Point: Prices dropped significantly in 2020 to their second-lowest level since 2004, driven by the COVID-19 pandemic causing a massive drop in demand, with some states seeing prices below $2 per gallon.
  • Energy Trends: Trump focused on maximizing domestic production to achieve energy independence.

Gas Prices Under Joe Biden (2021–2025)
  • Average Prices: The average price during Biden's term was higher than in the preceding term, calculated around $3.60 per gallon.
  • High Point: Prices peaked at an all-time high of roughly $5.01 per gallon in June 2022, following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which affected global supply.
  • Factors: Rising demand following pandemic re-openings, coupled with supply chain constraints and geopolitical tensions (e.g., Russia-Ukraine), pushed prices up, leading to the largest release from the national emergency reserve in history.

Key Comparisons and Context
  • COVID-19 Impact: Trump’s lower prices were heavily influenced by the 2020 oil market collapse during the pandemic.
  • Recovery and War: Biden's higher prices were driven by the rapid post-pandemic recovery and the Russia-Ukraine war.
  • Initial Trends: Oil prices began to rise in the latter half of 2020 and throughout 2021 as demand recovered and supply lagged, continuing a trend that started before Biden took office.
  • Recent Trends (2026): As of March/April 2026, gas prices were again high (nearing $4 per gallon) amid conflicts in the Middle East.

So when I am putting gas in my car today, will I be thinking about how much it cost under Biden? My guess is most people won't give a damn what they were paying in 2022....they voted for Trump in 2024 and here it is in 2026.....I only care what I'm paying today.

Wow, I sense a lot of butt hurt in you..

Prices aren’t rising anywhere near killing you. You’re making all your outrage up. You’re fraudulent. If you were so concerned about prices you would acknowledge that your rise came in 2022 and not 2025 or now.
 
Where do you “swat” Liberals? Haven’t seen it here.

Wow 😮 it took you less than 6 minutes to Troll everything I wrote this morning. Do you use an Egg Timer to try and beat your own personal records?

Anyway I’m so happy that I’m the last poster on this Forums that you’re still trying to run off. I noticed the last time when I stopped for a few weeks you went completely silent 🤫

How about giving me a REAL response? How many posters do you think you’ve run off of here? Do you keep count?

Anyway if being nothing besides an annoyance is how you earn a living who am I to take your money away from you. (See you in about 15 minutes)
