They should have sold it at $2.97
250th anniversary + 47. Oh wait most of them can’t do math …
Yup, they published a list of 25 gas stations offering the lower prices and apparently none of them actually existed.
EDIT: I need to clarify because I don't want to be responsible for misinformation. That info came from a YouTube channel that quoted a woman on Tik Tok who said she checked the first five locations on the list and they weren't gas stations. I checked the first five locations with a quick Google maps search and they were ALL gas stations. So I think she was spreading lies. I then check all 25 and one was an apartment complex. But that could be a Google maps thing.
There's still a lot wrong with this whole freedom fuel thing but that's not one of them. Apologies.
I smell AI "tools"
I don't understand. You mean that's what they used?
No, its actually their official job title. "Smeller of AI Tools." It takes a very sophisticated nose to distinguish between all of the different vintages of bullshit, but it's a living.
I see.
How about 2.47? 2nd term 47th prez?
Or how about 1.47? Only 1 man could be 47th?
How about prices lower than 18 because that's what he likes, anything below 18.
How about 47.00?
Now we're cooking with fire.
How about 47c?
You ever get the feeling someone is testing your sanity?
Asking for a friend
Every day for the past decade. Why?
Imagine if Dems did this. They'd call it communism, lol. Central planning, price controls, etc.
I believe them because they are known to be very honest
So the Freedom Fuel Network, as a "private company" just decided to do this on their own? For the good of society? And happened to price a gallon of gas at $3.47 for the president?
A gallon of what though? "Fuel?"
Its a typo, it actually a gallon of Huel.
A gallon of what came out of those hookers?

It'll be 45.47 per gallon soon with Republican incompetence.
3.47
4.47
5.47....
I don't understand.
Why is trump so good at helping Cuba become oil free and using 100% renewable energy while he insists the US keeps using Oil and destroys offshore wind projects at home?
Trump, please treat US more like Cuba.
Wasn't it the beginning of they year when he bragged how gas was almost $2? (it was actually around $2.50 at the time) And what was it that made that go up? Did some piss boy get caught with his pants down while Netanyahu snuck around the corner? Who got tricked into bombing his way into a forever war? Fucking idiots...
Actually Fox News at some point said that if you removed California and another state or two ( don't remember which right now) that the average price was way lower so the high prices were because of blue states. I went to AAA's website which tracks average fuel prices in each state on a daily basis. Removed the states Fox said were to blame and the average actually went UP, not down. So not only was the logic crap, the math was crap too.
Let me chew on some of this Trump Popkorn, real korn for real males.
I wonder what the angle is on this scam.
I suppose we'll find out soon enough, when dumb MAGAts gleefully offer themselves as the guinea pigs.
Betting diluted/contaminated fuel.
WTAF. This fucking guy.
I don't friggin buy it. This company is definitely getting kickbacks from the government somehow, and Trump is definitely getting a cut of it.
someone overdosing on copium
I didn’t buy freedom fries and I won’t buy freedom fuel
Wow. That's really fucking stupid.
What?
I think you need to be born yet again - your pod obviously was defective.
Please take your meds, I mean this seriously
The spokesperson said the Trump administration is not involved with the company and is not subsidizing the gas stations, adding that the stations can offer lower prices by reducing their profit margins.
Yes, because famously gas stations make a ton of money on gas sales... pull someone else's leg, mine is long enough already.
"Thanks, Trump, for saving me some money," said a customer based in Philadelphia, where the state average for a gallon of gasoline is $3.98.
So which is true? If Trump and/or the government have nothing to do with it, then IDK, maybe thank whoever is choosing to take a loss selling gasoline below market price. If it is Trump and/or the government, then why is this company saying that it isn't being subsidized?
Gas is already a loss-leader for most gas stations...it's not their primary business. The shit you buy when you're waiting for the gas pump is where they make their money.
Bullshit. These stations are in his pocket

It wouldn't surprise me if he managed to cut his buddies a sweet deal for Venezuelan oil, and this is how they are repaying him
They'll sell at a loss to get the President to advertise for them on TV
In a week they'll be the same price, in a month they'll be higher due to idiot tax.
They want people to make their gas station their personality, and trumpets are dumb enough to do it.
Kinda like Buc-ee's and Chick-fil-A?
I still cannot believe the peener toilet guy said this, with a straight face.

I'm sort of torn:
Is Whitaker just pandering to the reliably-votes-R base? Is this, the world-famous Buc-ee’s and Chick-Fil-A freedom, really going to impress them as a sacred principle that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the Bill of Rights? Maybe!
Or is Whitaker pandering to the king, signaling that he (Whitaker) has just as much contempt for the peasants as anyone? "Look at the amazing slop you've inspired, sir, look at the peasants gobbling it up, sir," he says, with a tear in his eye.
I honestly have no idea.
Whitaker may just be one of those idiotic types that speak in utter platitudes and might have well just blurted out "Freedom Constitution Eagle, Trump is King, take that libs!" and that'd be sufficient to be in this administration and a "pundit" on Faux News.
As someone else pointed out who just came back from a walkable area (in the EU) with access to lots of fresh food and no fast food in sight, what Whitaker was describing sounded like Hell on Earth. Stuck in traffic, eating a gas station sandwich in your car, while you are on the phone?
WTAF.
Next week the magats will be going out of their way to buy "freedom gas" from this station for $4.47 /gal, and they'll do it with all the smugness and arrogance they can muster
Going out of business to own the libs.
Trump promised $2/gal gas on "day one". Where is the $2 gas?
Which is funny because gas is pretty much (at least in my area) exactly $2 more per gallon than it was before his inauguration.
Maybe he was always saying "2 dollars (more)" in his head the whole time...
On any given day, a 2 has a pretty good chance of being somewhere on a fuel price sign
Add it to the list.
I mean technically since the purchasing power of the dollar has fallen so far, it's somewhat as if the gas costs $2 in 2024 dollars...
But it costs a total of $86.47 to fill your tank
Worth it.
What a weak ass troll. At least put some effort into it jeez
They’re not selling gasoline, they’re selling the experience of living in an alternate reality.
Since they're MAGA, I'm just gonna assume the ratio of this fuel price to normal fuel prices is equal to the ratio of water added.
Nah, it is trump; it is probably more water than that
47% to be exact.
And it's only 47% water (salt water).
*With purchase of 20 dollar gas station hot dog. /s
I’ll call it right here : this will be a scam. They’ll ask for a monthly subscription card and never deliver
i'd pay eighty-three dollars more per gallon, and fill up the tank, if.. ya know.......
Someone needs to replace the "Freedom Fuel" sign with a hammer and sickle, and "STATE-OWNED AUTOMOBILE FUEL COMPANY"
These pedo fuckups are all over the place.
No one ever accused fascists of being smart.
