1. Yeppers, this

is fictional.
2. Because I've lived in the same house since the G. H. W. Bush Administration and have used the same neighborhood gas stations for just as long, I've been able to observe the increases and decreases in gas prices for about as long, and used the same 2 or 3 stations frequently for quite a few years.
That said, I know, and have posted here, that the highest credit price for Regular at the station I use under Trump was the same as that highest price under LIEden. Trump's price has not been higher, despite CA's gas tax being indexed to inflation
(= CA's gas tax increased in July 2025 and July 2026, cumulatively a 4-6 cent total increase since Trump came into office). Currently, that price is about 66 cents per gallon lower than LIEden's and Trump's highest.
3. "Trump’s tariffs and illegitimate war"? Is
imunamerican63 referring to Iran's 47-year war against the US that Trump is ending?
