Natural disasters and conflicts in oil producing areas will always increase the price of gas, Smokin but prices at the pump were already going up long before the cold weather in Texas shut down refineries...that's simply something that increased them MORE. I expect we'll see a few dips in the months ahead but I also predict that the price of gas will keep on rising because it's what the far left wants to see happen and they're putting people and policies in place to make that happen.I never claimed that gas prices averaged well over $5 per gallon. What I claimed was that Obama's policies drove up the price of gas in the US and that Joe Biden's will as well. You can attempt to argue that all you like...I'll simply direct your attention to the nearest gas pump and tell you to watch as the price keeps going higher.If you think it IS Obama's doing then I'm still waiting for you to explain to us what policy of Barry's made increased oil production happen?OK...Let's see....You can't come up with a single Obama Administration policy that increased oil production in the United States...can you? But instead of admitting that...you call me a liar? Aren't you the childish one...Did I say there was an Obama policy that reduced oil prices?Why don't YOU educate me? Please tell me what Obama policy is it that dropped gas prices? I know he took credit for higher production of oil and natural gas but anyone with even a modicum of sense knows that is laughable!I'm neither blind nor stupid.WTF are you talking about? Didn’t you see how prices maintained $2 for the duration of trump’s presidency? Haven’t you seen them rise by nearly 50% under Biden already? Didn’t you see them rise from $1.40 to over $4 under Obama? Are you blind or just really stupid?You never asked a question.You never answered my question daddy o so is the goal of a green president cheap gas prices?And the ignorance just keeps on coming.Is this what you voted for, Democrats?
Among some of the earliest announcements coming out of the White House after Joe Biden’s inauguration was a promise to clamp down on drilling, particularly on federal lands and offshore. While this all has to be done in stages, the oil and gas industry is already reacting. And since markets rely on “futures” as much as they do current supply and demand levels, the effects can often precede the cause. This is being noticed all across the nation at this point. As CBS Baltimore pointed out on Monday, gas prices have been slowly but steadily rising over the past month. There are actually a variety of factors driving this trend, as we’ll get to in a moment, but government policy both at home and abroad is always a factor.
Brought to you by the GOP College of Stupid!
Any president who thinks he's can control pump prices is an idiot.
See Trump for evidence.
You on the other hand are an ignorant asshole.
Why don't you collect a few facts such as that gas prices dropped under Obama from nearly $4 when he took office to less than $1.75. Know why fool? Because Obama bought stability and the risk premium dropped.
Prices went up under Trump from under $1 to nearly $3.25. Never heard a word from you did we shitbucket?
Go educate yourself fool. Then when you get up to 4th grade, come back.
Or
Did I say that the President has very little impact on pump prices?
Why don't we look back up the thread and see what kind of liar you are....
OK, finding are in.
You are a stupid liar.
OK Jay! Who's next on "How Stupid is that Republican?"
The fact of the matter is that Barack Obama took credit for something that happened DESPITE him...not because of him!
Gas prices go up because it's Biden's fault.
Gas prices go down but it's not Obama's doing.
Pardon me but your hypocrisy is showing and your stupid is sticking out.
Gas prices under Joe Biden will go up just as they did under Obama because Joe Biden's policies are the same as Obama's. Most people learn from their mistakes. Progressives don't seem to." Oil that we keep or export costs exactly the same. Oil that we produce costs less because transportation costs are less'.We were able to do that because we were producing so much oil. Duh?Is this what you voted for, Democrats?

No they are not reacting. The oil markets are reacting to Trump's conspiring with OPEC to cut production. Trump wanted to raise the price of oil and sometimes when you get a ball rolling in one direction it can be hard to stop. Also incompetent Texas Republicans have contributed.
Trump has been out of office for two months. You're the reason Biden can get away with starting a war for oil while killing our energy independence, so we have to buy energy from his OPEC connections.
The ones that killed our energy independence are republicans, 5 years ago.
October 9 2015
Defying a White House veto threat, the Republican-controlled House on Friday approved a bill to lift a 40-year-old U.S. ban on crude oil exports.
The House approved the bill on a 261-159 vote. Supporters said an ongoing boom in oil and gas drilling has made the 1970s-era restrictions obsolete. Lifting the export ban would lower prices at the pump, create jobs and boost the economy, said House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio.
"In my view, America's energy boom has the potential to reset the economic foundation of our economy and improve our standing around the world," Boehner said.

Exactly, so why export oil when you can keep it to stabilize our prices.
That like giving away the food in half your refrigerator, then whine when you run out or have to purchase more.
In this case, whine about higher prices, when the US is exporting oil?
Oil prices are set world-wide. Oil that we keep or export costs exactly the same. Oil that we produce costs less because transportation costs are less. That's why oil from the Trans-Alaska pipeline was primarily sold in Japan because the west coast used less than we were producing.
Huh?
The US has the highest production costs in the world.
Did US Gas Prices Average $5 Per Gallon Under Obama and ...
Claim: U.S. gas prices averaged well over $5 per gallon under the administration of U.S. President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.

Soooo, Biden has a policy of shutting down three Texas refineries?
Never read that in the WH press release.
February 20 2021
In Texas this week, winter storms and power outages shut down oil refineries and they're saying it could take weeks.
Could this cause Central Georgians to pay more at the pump?
When you went to grab the pump, did you realize the gas prices as you fueled up? That's because of oil refineries shutting down in Texas due to the winter storm.
Refinery outages have shut down about 20 percent of the nation's oil refining capacity.
That's why prices are expected to rise 10 to 20 cents a gallon in the coming days, and experts say prices may get even higher.
Saravia also said, "That's going to be putting pressure on the price of gasoline, some sources are saying we could see $3 gallons this summer."
