So now you're trying to say that the low prices of when Trump left office, is only because of the pandemic ?
EARTH TO FAUNINGSTOCK: Average US gas price in trump's years (other thn the pandemic) averaged $2.58/gal.
Since Biden took over (with no pandemic or other extraneous influence) and reduced drilling and production, thereby lowering supply and increasing demand, here is what the average US gas price has been >>
2021- $3.01/gal
2022 - $4.90/gal
What will it be in 2023 ? $10/gal........2024 - $50/gal ?
You can twist this and turn it any way you want, but Democrats are going to be shredded (barring any frauds) next month, and these prices (+ rents & food) are the prime reason why. Nobody is buying you're spin here.
Oh yeah, the reason Biden went to Saudi Arabia to beg them for oil, is because we have so much of it.

Is there a doctor in the house ?
I really shouldn't even be engaging in such a ludicrous "debate", because it only grants unwarranted legitimacy to the poppycock.
