It's laughable that you think the POTUS determines the gas prices. LOL!!

Over the next four years, it will probably go up and down, just like it does every year regardless of who is sitting in the White House (or spending half his time on his own golf course, as the case may be).

guess what oil is an ingredient of, or an integral part of the supply chain of.....??? absolutely everything.


the cost of everything you need or want is going to go up... not just gas. it will also filter down into property taxes and other fees. you can thank the dems for that.

Well when Trump was in office gas prices were only under his control when they went down. With Biden in office he is only in control when gas prices go up. Otherwise the president has "no control" over gas prices.

They are already building a lot of charging stations. Plus, people can also charge them in their garage.

Even here in KC I'm seeing tons of Teslas all over the place. In Europe something like 1/4 or 1/5 of all new cars sold are electric. No reason the same can't happen here in the US.

modern electric vehicles have a 300 mile range, the cost of plugging in is trivial compared to gas, and they can plug in all over the place. I plug mine into a 110 outlet in front of my garage that was there when the house was built decades ago. Its generally fully charged every morning. If that wasnt there I could put in a 220 volt one that would charge it even faster. Many apartments now come with electric vehicle parking spots too.

Those arent hard questions at all.

Yup. If and when gas prices go back down again, you can be 100% sure the conservatives here will completely forget they ever complained about this issue.

2018 brought us high gas prices because of the hurricanes that impacted the cost plus OPEC cut way back to bring gas prices higher.



Thanks to Biden we now have to again depend on oil from the middle east which makes the oil market unstable..Trump worked on oil production to make us oil independent.

So if you forget to plug it in you have no transportation.

Because thats what it is. If our economy goes up, and gas prices, then OMG BIDEN! LOOK AT THOSE PRICES!

Talk about actual policies, not this nonsense.
The economy sank like a tank hank when Bush 2 was in office in 2007 deven. His two failed wars and record oil prices in 08 did us in. Same for Bush 1 and his failed war and record oil prices in 1991...
