Yes, the cost for gas stayed low during Covid. Supply and demand! Duh!
Jesus, I can't believe this has to be explained to you.
As for the rest, it's getting old having to prove you tards' "Biden's war on oil" bullshit wrong over and over.
US oil production increased by 30 percent in Biden's first year. It only increased by 20 percent in Trump's first year. And they both started from the same level. So tell me why Trump hates America!
Next:
New federal data shows the Biden administration approved 3,557 permits for oil and gas drilling on public lands in its first year, far outpacing the Trump administration’s first-year total of 2,658.
Nearly 2,000 of the drilling permits were approved on public lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management’s New Mexico office, followed by 843 in Wyoming, 285 in Montana and North Dakota, and 191 in Utah. In California, the Biden administration approved 187 permits — more than twice the 71 drilling permits Trump approved in that state in his first year.
More fun:
Using the definition of exports minus imports, 2021 was our highest level of energy independence in history.
But wait! There's more!
The GOP narrative has a major hole: U.S. oil production — already the highest in the world — is on track to set a new record this year, and will probably rise even more in 2024. But the ever-increasing flow of U.S. crude has failed to keep a lid on gasoline prices, showing once again that a global market drives the fuel prices that shape presidents’ political futures.
And that means events far beyond the nation’s borders will play a sizable role in voters’ verdict on “Bidenomics” — as global oil prices rise and fall in response to banking conditions in Europe, China’s slumping real estate market, Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine and the latest maneuvers by Saudi Arabia.

U.S. oil production is forecast to average an all-time high of 12.8 million barrels a day this year and keep growing to 13.1 million in 2024, the federal Energy Information Administration said in its latest forecast.
We are producing more oil than ever before.

Avoid your MAGA media, rube. They are making you look stupid in public.
