Biden, like many Democrats, has zero idea of how the real world works. Gas stations are notoriously low profit margin endeavors, which is why so many are now attached to convenience stores. Groceries and snacks are the money makers, not gasoline sales. It's amazing that the President of our country doesn't know this.

Biden and the Dems do not understand Capitalism. IF a gas station is selling gas for $4 per gallon and the one across the street has the same gas for $3.75 guess which will have a constant stream of cars pulling in?



Why are the Dems so keen on telling us what to do when we can figure it out ourselves and use our wallets to shop and hopefully in November the majority of us will be using our Empty Wallets to sway our VOTES!

Biden has turned to a Piece of sh**T puppet idiot for the left the past 15 or maybe 20 years (supposedly he used to be a moderate/mild centrist democrat 25+ years ago???) and only using this as a political ploy with pressure from Harris and his extreme liberal party to get votes November in hopes of furthering their evil agenda to ban/severely restrict fossil fuels to no end and push prices to the moon if somehow dems maintain the house and gain 2 or more senate seats nightmare unfolds!!

Asking someone to cut prices when they are profit entities and market determines the price is just the way it is. Now if stations were all colluding together to ask an artificially high price illegal and that is price gouging!! But that is not happening in most places.

If Biden really wanted gas prices to be lower, maybe just maybe stop having this obsession with climate change and the false narrative of saving the planet and hostility towards fossil fuel industry and instead change your stance right now and be pro and fossil fuel friendly (Even against the wishes of the evil left trying to control you as a puppet though you used to be a centrist when not a poppet 20+ years ago) so the companies start fracking and increasing and drilling and production goes way up and then prices come down to reasonable $2.50 to $3 per gallon gas levels and everyone including big oil is happy.

I wouldn't be happy with that. Gas in my town was $1.85 the day he was sworn in. I'll be happy when it gets back to those levels.

Some CA counties are approaching $7 average for a gallon of gasoline.

In CA there is at least an additional $1.21 in taxes/fees added to each gallon of gas.

So is it the gas station owner that is price gouging or is it the government?

Hey Joe, if Democrat Blue States weren't price gouging, then the national average would decline, no?
