BIG DEAL!😡😡. We should be sub 2.00/gal
I agree! The only reason for this small drop in price is to help the demonrats in the midterms. They are scrambling to retain their base. They are hurting very badly because of all the damage they have done to our once beautiful country. They have turned America into a third world country and that was their objective. All I can say, don’t be fooled by their antics. Be careful when you vote in the midterms. There are a lot of rino’s being backed by the demonrats. I would vet every candidate with due diligence. Remember 2020 I can’t be too specific because I will be moderated. Even on a conservative website.
In God we trust not government or man. Have a blessed day.
WOW!! Drops below $4:00 a gallon while it is up over $2;00 a gallon from 15 months ago. I’m saving money now!!
