I
mean, usually after an election the price goes up but since President
Trump (I still can't get over how great that
sounds) announced the end
of deregulation on the energy industry, the resumption of fossil
fuel
exploration, mining and 'fracking' and the OK for the Keystone
Pipeline. Have ya' noticed what has happened to gas prices? I have here
in Ohio. This is from the "Gas Price Heat map" on
http://www.ohiogasprices.com/Price_By_County.aspx which
shows the average gas prices in the USA at the time:

wallet?
I last filled-up over a week ago @ $2.15.9 and thought I'd better do it
(historically) before the new administration is in power. OK, I showed
no faith what-so-ever. I'd like to hear what it is now and what it
was a week ago where you live.
