Donald Trump is president again and now needs to make good on his promise to curb inflation and bring down the price of gasoline. In a September speech, where he announced Elon Musk would head a new government efficiency office, he also vowed to get gasoline below $2 a gallon.
On Oahu, regular gas at Costco is currently $3.999 per gallon, at Hele it is $4.449 per gallon at the cash price, and at Union 76 it is $4.699 per gallon.
Making note of these prices now will make it easier for us to look back and revisit them in a year, and every year, on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, to mark Trump’s success at curbing inflation or prove him to be a liar and us gullible fools.
