Gas Prices Drop an Average of $4 Across Red States: “This Is Just the Beginning” (Page 2 ) | November 10, 2024

Annonce:

Some drivers are even filling extra gas cans and storing them in their garages, fearing that the prices might spike back up. “I’m stocking up now, just in case the ‘big oil’ guys try to mess with us,” said one driver who admitted to filling three gas cans “for the future.”

Curiously, the price drop appears to be isolated to red states, with gas stations in traditionally blue states seeing little to no change. Many in these states are finding themselves staring at $5-a-gallon signs while their red-state neighbors fill up for a fraction of the cost. Californians in particular have been vocal, with some residents openly wondering whether they should reconsider where they call home.

“Are we being punished for choosing electric vehicles and wind farms?” joked one California resident on Twitter. “If gas is $1.99 in red states, maybe I’ll pack up my Prius and head to Texas for the weekend!”
