Wolf Blitzer fueled a lot of Twitter mockery after he posted a photo of the high prices at a Washington, D.C., gas station.
On Tuesday, the CNN anchor posted a photo showing that a gallon of gas at a particular Exxon station ranged between $4.29 and $4.79 which most people will agree is very expensive.

However, many Twitter users cried foul on the photo, saying that Blitzer was falsely suggesting those are average prices for gas in the nations capital. In reality, the high prices were due in large part to the stations location near Capitol Hill.
Many people pointed out that the average gas price in D.C. was closer to $3.60.
Mediaite noted the gas station is within walking distance of CNN headquarters, but many people tried to help Blitzer get a better deal.
The average price for a gallon of regular grade gas in DC today was $3.60, according to @AAAnews. https://t.co/8gS9fYlQnJ https://t.co/50U9yMYzDX

Gas in D.C. is most expensive on or near Capitol Hill or near Georgetown. But if you do, you know, a quick Google search, you can find relatively cheap gas in the District. One such site (https://t.co/n7nxAIsxpx) ranks low gas prices.
