Well still about a $1.75 higher then gas was at the start of Joe' war on fossil fuel (that's a quote) and Diesel has not dropped much at all. Is this the Putin price drop? or is that unfair and Biden should get the credit?

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?

I don't think a president controls gas prices. However, those who blamed Biden for the high prices should probably be thanking him for the lower prices now.

Ever heard the term speculation. His platform was anti fossil fuel. He went to SA and got pimp slapped begging for more production.

This is similar to my thought. I'm not sure how much influence a president has on gas prices, but if you give him the blame for the rise it seems he should also get the credit for the decrease.

We see this ad nauseum with the stock market as well. Both sides want to take credit for the gains on their watch and deny responsibility for the losses.

I liked having to pay $1.79 a gallon and mean tweets over sippy-cup bunker dwelling pedophile Joe Obiden, who made us oil dependent once a gain.

Yeah, one man alone just doesn't have that kind of power over things like gas prices, stock market, housing market, etc.

We went from oil export to begging for oil in less than two years.

Since, Biden was blame for high gas prices, why can't Biden take credit for lowering gas prices?

Biden shouldn’t be proud of that. He is embarrassing himself
