Haha is that the picture of trump looking up at the solar eclipse?

This one was in Arkansas

Well gas prices were definitely lower on February 26th before that asshole started a war with Iran.

Look at this guy not from California!

6.89 the other day

Right, under $5/gallon? Braggart.

It's almost like El Taco heard about people trying to explain that the president wasn't actually capable of affecting gas prices and went "hold my beer McD's".

Also rare for the president to be a convicted felon. Yet this monster found a way.

The US uses a slightly different Octane rating system that averages slightly lower than the more common RON. The system they use averages RON with MON which is measured under different engine conditions. The pump is labeled with (R+M)/2 to indicate this in the image. According to Wikipedia, 88 is equivalent to 95 RON.

No idea why they feel the need to be different.

In Canada, The United States, and Mexico, the advertised octane rating is the average of the RON and the MON, called the Anti-Knock Index (AKI). It is often written on pumps as (R+M)/2. AKI is also sometimes called PON (Pump Octane Number).

Because of the 8 to 12 octane number difference between RON and MON noted above, the AKI shown in Canada and the United States is 4 to 6 octane numbers lower than elsewhere in the world for the same fuel.

There's a table in the wiki article that shows the equivalence of different systems
