Local Gas Prices Up 70 Percent: Epic Failure Inflicting Global Economic Pain

Analysts: Worst Foreign Policy Decision in U.S. History

Roseville, Calif. – Gas prices are up about 70 percent from January lows of $3.29 in Roseville. Diesel fuel prices are pushing toward the $8 per gallon mark. More pain may be on the way as shortages accumulate.

Most experts and analysts—outside of popular cable shows that parrot and cheerlead administration messaging and misinformation —view the war as an overwhelming strategic defeat. The war is accumulating significant financial cost to U.S. taxpayers and at the expense of American servicemen’s lives, hundreds of casualties and billions in destruction to American military bases and equipment.

Abject Failure

Thus far, despite massive damage inflicted across Iran, the United States has failed to achieve every single stated war aim which includes unconditional surrender, regime change, no ballistic missiles, cease support for proxies, and no nuclear enrichment. Experts believe the U.S. decision to go to war is a colossal blunder that is turning Iran into a leading world power.

The U.S. Navy, the most capable in the world, has been unable to open the Strait. The chokepoint is a critical passageway for a significant amount of the world’s fuel, fertilizer, and goods. The Strait of Hormuz was unimpeded and fully open prior to the war.

A extremely unpopular and unprovoked war has delivered little more than death, chaos, and worldwide economic pain. Analysts view the war as expediting the decline of the American Empire as it works to protect its decaying hegemony and petrodollar in a multipolar world. Others posit that Israel has finally found a U.S. administration it was able to manipulate into war against Iran. Israel has been proclaiming Iran as being close to a nuclear bomb for decades. Prior to the war, U.S. intelligence agencies refuted those claims along with any imminent threats.

Local Impacts

Locally, Roseville consistently remains the low price leader in South Placer while Rocklin and Lincoln residents consistently pay higher energy costs across the board.

The lowest gas prices in South Placer are reliably found in Roseville. Typically, Costco and Sam’s Club which have remained consistent over the years with occasional exceptions and short term price wars. California imports a significant amount of its oil from the Middle East with Iraq accounting for 21 percent.
