It was Antifa with “buckets” of algae contaminating 4 million gallons of water in the pool…

Don’t trust these people with your pool maintenance needs.

DJT Gas Log, Chapter 2, Week 21 Supplemental

No takers on the Soapbox’s request for photographic services documenting the price of a gallon of regular unleaded at our benchmark station outside of Butler, PA, but thanks to the wonders of modern technology the price was confirmed at $4.38 on GasBuddy and by eyewitness accounts.

$4.38 is a 9¢ decline from last week’s Gas Log entry and stands at 89¢ above the Week 21 reading from 2025- see comments for link to last year’s post.

For PA overall the AAA average was $4.21. That is down nearly 13¢ from a week ago, down almost 44¢ from last month and up about 92¢ from last year.

The Pittsburgh region’s average stood at $4.53 which was down about 8¢ from last Monday, down about 35¢ from May and up around $1 from 2025.

As tensions appear to be easing in the Persian Gulf, prices continue to decline from their recent peaks in early May of $4.99 at our benchmark station. We last saw prices in the current $4.38 range in late April as prices rocketed up over 60¢ in a matter of days.

We currently stand at 77 consecutive days of the PA average price being $4 or greater. That is about the halfway mark of the last over $4 streak in 2022 that stretched to 155 days in PA.

The Soapbox is out of town this week, so if any enterprising individual would like to snap a pic of the prices at the Sunoco in Mt Chestnut for the Gas Log, that would be great!
