This is a two-panel comparison meme that uses a simple visual trick to joke about rapidly rising gasoline prices and general inflation. The top panel labeled 2020 shows a masked man filling his car at a gas station, holding the base of the fuel nozzle to represent when gas was more affordable. The bottom panel labeled 2026 shows the same man with his mask slid up to cover his eyes; his hand now grips the fuel nozzle much further down the handle, creating the visual illusion that the nozzle has grown much larger. The joke implies that gas prices have increased so drastically that consumers can now only afford to buy a tiny amount of gas at a time, exaggerating the loss of purchasing power from inflation.
