September's national average price of gasoline was $4.332/gal according to GasBuddy data, up 6.8% from August's $4.056/gal level, the second highest monthly average in 2026- it was the most expensive September *ever*

BREAKING: 2026 has now seen more days with average gas prices over $4/gal than any year before: 158 days

gas was $2.94/gal before the first strikes in february. it’s $4.33 today. hormuz was wide open in january. i’ll let you connect the dots

13-24c/gal is now 22-39c/gal and counting... diesel prices will sharply swing higher soon at a pump near you

wholesale diesel prices not blinking over Russia/US "deal", wholesale prices up 13-24c/gal, $6/gal diesel may be here to stay for now- truckers and farmers not going to see any relief anytime soon.

it’s official: 2026 has now tied 2022 for the most days ever with the national average price of gasoline above $4/gal. 157 days and counting. one more and it’s a new record

agreed, many many questions about the deal that go beyond the headlines, but ultimately, agree on the conclusion- this will not meaningfully reduce diesel prices. buying Russian diesel by a country who exports >50 million gallons per day is an abomination

tomorrow will tie 2022's record for number of days with the national average above $4/gal. 2022 saw 157 days above $4. today is our 156th day above $4 this year. tomorrow, we tie that 157 days and Wednesday we set a new record for most days above $4/gal in any year ever.

Russia attacks a Ukrainian powerplant, violating the energy ceasefire. Trump responds by threatening to cut Ukraine’s arms, not Russia. Ukraine says it’s ready to stop hitting refineries. Russia signals it isn’t. draw your own conclusions.
