Not hearing much about the above "I did that" stickers now that gas prices are lower. Only heard about these stickers attached to gas pumps when prices went up. Hypocrites.
the stickers pre-dated Putin's invasion.

If Biden made the price go up by his enacting policies that limit US production and leases he can lower prices by removing the barriers.

If we are producing enough oil and natural gas to be non dependent on other countries (we can) then Putin should have no affect on our pricing... unless the product is being sold internationally.

Who doesn't believe Biden could cultivate a regulatory/production environment to lower fuel prices?

I blame Biden for the massive increase in oil and gas costs since he declared war on fossil fuels on Day One in office and yes, that caused prices to go up. Sorry, but if you do not think Biden has any affects on the price of gas, you are letting your political biases blind you to this simple fact.

Plus, OPEC loves Biden’s war on fossil fuels since they are once again very relevant to our economy. As for Biden flying to Saudi Arabia to ask them, in person, to increase production was embarrassing since it show how weak Biden is on the global stage. The Saudis would have never pulled that stunt with Obama or Trump.

People better not get too happy with the decreases we are seeing since it’s a no brainer that the mid-terms is less than 3 months away. Once this election is over And it doesn’t matter who wins, prices will start to go back up within a week or two…. Just in time for the holidays.

On a side note, I think it’s a very bad move to send China oil from out Strategic Oil Reserves since the way China has been acting, we may need all the oil we can get since it’s only a matter of time before he have to fight China. It’s pretty sad that China is probably putting that oil into their own Strategic Oil Reserves in order to kill our American boys and girls in uniform.

But gas has fallen just below $3 in Oklahoma for the lowest. Of course, though, Oklahoma must be about the last damned bad, backward state you would want to move to, in order to get away from high gas prices. A friend of mine from Oklahoma went to San Diego to join the Marines and since getting out, very seldom wants to come back for a visit in Oklahoma.

OPEC controls the gas/oil prices, not the president.

Call me crazy, but I think people are driving less (demand) and that's why gasoline prices are lower and the reason Diesel is still high is because truckers are delivering goods as fast as they can, trying to get the supply chain back in sync.

How do y'all see it?
It's like the rooster taking credit for the sunrise.
