Maine has many miles to travel to get anywhere. I95 has straight stretches but no other roads do.

Hey North Dakota, Wyoming and Alaska, did you vote for this? This amounts an over $2300 PER PERSON increase in price in these 3 states based on 20 barrels per year per person from Jan 2025. 9/26 - $270.90 1/25 - $152.46 = + $118.44 x20 gal = $2368.80 per person per year PER PERSON!!!!!!!!!

And hey, they'll get bailed out by Dems again probably and still vote Republican.

Even the yahoos, and yes you are yahoos, will finally have to admit that they were manipulated!

Off topic for US readers but for wider context - Fuel prices in the UK now: Petrol/gas $10.95/gallon Diesel $12.18/gallon Up from around $7-8 in May. And before any bright spark witters about North Sea fields, Thatcher sold them decades ago. Help reserves, possibly. Prices, no.

Yep, hence Grassley’s tweet

Conversely a lot of blue states show up on the lower end of the chart. Way to go Donny.

South Dakota!

Red Wyoming here. Almost every truck on these roads need Diesel fuel. One thing for sure.. I haven't seen a red hat in MONTHS.

So in Maine the pain is going to be a lot more widely distributed among poor elderly voters, etc. Compared to say Wyoming where it is probably mostly big farmers, ranchers, mining operations, etc. using most of the diesel.

i wonder what it looks like if you limit to Q3-4 diesel use. i say that since it's harvest for the big ag states

Heating oil is also diesel (just taxed differently) and heavily used in New England. I barely drive, have solar for electric, and buy oil through a collective, but my heating oil budget plan has still gone up $300 a month, and is pretty likely to spike further.

Too bad many people in those states will blame communists and Trans people and Biden. Hoping enough voters understand who is really to blame and vote accordingly.
