After the good manners and courtesy shown in your reply, I had to make a reply of my own. It's true that on day 1 of the Biden administration Biden stopped work on the Keystone pipeline and stopped most drilling on government land, and imposed stricter regulations on the rest. If he hadn't done this, gas would be cheaper. Besides, there is more harm done to the environment when oil comes from the middle east. Ships have to burn more oil to bring it here. Also pipelines are a more efficient way to move oil. So Biden did have a role to play in the current price of gas.
Have a nice day.
Sincerely - fuck off with the bullshit MAGA hat wearing politics. Don't email me directly again.

Looks like you're living in an echo chamber of mostly one bias which is just opposite of Greg's.
It doesn't take a huge stretch of logic to understand that shutting down domestic crude oil in place and pipelines in development adversely affected the price of fuel in America.

- The convenience.org link seems to be a blog of some sort for the NACS magazine. It seems mostly balanced on bias from what I can tell.
The reason "Donald Trump was a relative success story, with prices climbing a mere 6 cents during his time in office ($2.33 on Jan. 23, 2017; $2.39 on Jan. 25, 2021)." is because he opened domestic oil production to offset when foreign sources reduce the oil supply for our refineries. Biden shut it down again.
When Biden shut down domestic oil and pipelines to get oil from closer sources we lost all the control he had over the topic since we rely on foreign sources which might not really be so friendly to America otherwise. I agree that it's not all Biden's fault... our house and senate made a mess of this country playing politics and I don't have a ton of faith in their leadership. Only 2 years until it gets really ugly again.
