You want me to drive to Colorado to fill up my tank? Cheapest gas here is 3.50 a gallon. How much was it under Trump?

2.38 during pandemic when there was no demand. They don't really affect me as I fill up maybe once a month except for vacations like most retirees.

It dipped under $2 pre-pandemic is what I think we’re all getting at.

Well, I am glad it doesn’t affect you. I have to fill up once a week for work and kids activities. It definitely is noticeable from Trump to Biden with the hit to the wallet. That doesn’t even take into account the increase cost on most other goods due to rising fuel prices. His war on oil is doing nothing but drive the cost of living for the rest of us. I am not a huge fan of oil but there currently isn’t a better energy source out there for the demand of todays economy. He needs to increase oil and refinery production and also invest heavily on research and development of alternative fuels for the future.
