Real average hourly earnings decreased 3.6 percent, seasonally adjusted, from June 2021 to June 2022. The change in real average hourly earnings combined with a decrease of 0.9 percent in the average workweek resulted in a 4.4-percent decrease in real average weekly earnings over this period.

The graph clearly shows prices headed down before 2020.

It also shows prices have gone way beyond any highs reached during the Trump years.

And it also shows prices going beyond any reached during the Trump years, BEFORE the invasion of Ukraine.

This makes 100% sense given Biden's stated goals when it comes to fossil fuels.

The words of a president matter, remember?

Inflation - lower consumer demand - lower oil prices.
Biden hasn't done anything positive since he took office, least of all lowering gas prices. The entire notion he's lowered prices of anything is laughable.

Biden says his policies are working, I don't care about your facts.

Instead of a graph, which shows trends, not specifics, let’s use this.

https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/Le...te_nus_dpg&f=m

Looking at the table we see that gas in January 2017 was $2.349 a gallon. The highest price that year was $2.645 in September. In 2018 the top gasoline price was $2.901 in May.

One thing to notice is the price generally goes down between September and December. That explains the decrease prior to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Which brings us to the question of the effect of the war in Ukraine on gas prices.
Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022. On Jan. 18, 2021, two days before Biden took office, gasoline cost $2.379 a gallon. On Feb. 21, 2022 it cost $3.53 per gallon. In increase of $1.151 per gallon over a period of 13 months. Currently gas is $4.49 a gallon.
That is an increase of 96 cents a gallon over a period of about five months.

Ukraine accounted for 45% of the total increase in gasoline prices in 28% of the time.

$3.99 for regular, in town, if you want to call it that. The weird thing was diesel was $5.81. I have never seen the gap between regular and diesel that high.

I like how Biden blames others when prices go up and takes credit himself when they go down. Does he think we are all as senile and stupid as he is?

and I thought 100% of the increase was due to Biden policies.

Strange thing locally. Went past my local BP. Sign said gas was $3.99 a gallon. Yesterday it was $3.39. Other stations in The area are between $3.29 and $3.39.


I wonder if it’s human error or a mechanical malfunction. I can’t believe they would raise their prices that much when no one else did.

They left the first digit off at a station in Houston several months ago apparently the pumps are aligned with the roadside sign. People were filling their vehicles for 59 cents a gallon until the moron inside realized the error.
