In his answer, then-Senator Biden took the opportunity to relate a conversation he had at a gas station with a guy named Joey who said he couldnt afford to fill up his tank:
So deregulation was the promise. And guess what? Those people who say don't go into debt, they can barely pay to fill up their gas tank.
I was recently at my local gas station and asked a guy named Joey Danco. I said, Joey, how much did it cost to fill your tank? You know what his answer was? He said, I don't know, Joe. I never have enough money to do it.
At the time (Oct. 2008), the average cost of a gallon of regular was $3.17 and only $1.93/gallon when Obama took office in January of 2009 according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Today, AAA estimates that a gallon of regular costs about $3.82 (Oct. 9), while the latest BLS report says it cost $3.71/gallon in August.
And, this week, the Associated Press reported that gas prices in California have hit an all-time high of $4.67 for a gallon of regular, and The Los Angeles Times reported that that Gov. Jerry Brown has taken emergency steps to address the problem.
