Stocks rally after reports suggest Trump might end the war soon, saying ‘we’re not going to be there for too much longer’

National average hit $4.02, according to AAA data, capping an extraordinary rise from $2.98 just a month ago

Average US fuel prices have crossed $4 a gallon for the first time in four years, piling pressure on drivers as Donald Trump’s war on Iran continues to boost oil markets.

The nationwide average climbed to almost $4.02 on Tuesday, according to AAA data, capping an extraordinary rise from $2.98 just a month ago. The fuel price last reached this high in August 2022.

On the west coast, many drivers filling up cars and trucks are grappling with prices far higher than the US average. In California, the average is $5.89 a gallon; in Washington state, the average is $5.35.

    MAGAs who can barely afford to drive to work: “It’s the least we can do to help Daddy Donald defeat Islam!”

    Cucks.

        Imagine if I could afford an EV for the 45 minute-by-freeway commute to my job that strangely doesn’t suck.

        …An EV that’s not a swastikar… they’re freaking everywhere out here. Disposable appliances on wheels.

        … I’m not saying anything in particular here except that we’re just kinda backed into a corner AGAIN without a viable alternative.

            Are the newer ones better? My mom in law had one that literally could only go like 40 miles. Glorified golf cart. :(

            It’d be really cool if they got into those few-hundred mile ranges!
