I bought gas yesterday outside Chicago for $3.14/gallon (Illinois has the highest gasoline prices in the upper Midwest), a price that made me wonder how much gasoline costs in other states.
Ohio: $2.22 in Union City
Louisiana: $2.24 in New Orleans
Tennessee: $2.32 in Knoxville
Alabama: $2.40 in Montgomery
North Carolina: $2.45 in Boone
Georgia: $2.56 in Lawrenceville
Illinois: $2.85 in Joliet
Michigan $2.98 in Baldwin
Missouri: $2.40 in Concord
New York: $2.63 in Levittown
Pennsylvania: $2.86 in Philadelphia
Texas: $2.15 in Austin
When Sweet Potato Hitler left office, the national average price of gasoline was about $2.72/gallon.
Of course, the prices listed above are local prices; there's obviously variation within each state but those numbers are close to the states' averages. The current national average price for gasoline is $3.14/gallon.
I guess that explains why republicans stopped talking about the price of gasoline.
And before you start crying about Biden robbing the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), the Biden administration sold that oil for $95/barrel and repurchased 40 million barrels for the SPR for $77/barrel. They can continue to top off the SPR today for even less: oil is currently $69/barrel.
Thanks, Dark Brandon. And thanks Kamala, please carry on-ala.

Donald Trump and George W Bush wanted more oil drilling and cheaper gas.
They won.

Will Liberals be taking the $7500 they got from t4e government to buy an EV and dropping $7500 off to the plantations in inner cities they've created and perpetuated?
BUT - it is nice to see Liberals cheer on stricter border policy and cheap fossil fuels!

Dope1: Whoever programs that account is really, really desperate.
Umm, nobody.
Funny, though, there's not a peep about gasoline prices coming from republicans.
Kind of like your silence concerning Dementia Don's theft of hundreds of the nation's most vital highly confidential intelligence documents. You're just never gonna find that missing spine, are ya? Maybe you should reach out to Barbara Bush and get some insight as to why she has balls and her father W and her uncle Jeb haven't any.
LurkerMom: Nice you cherry picked a few low gasoline prices. Today’s AAA gas prices are still up over $3.00 per gallon.
Just exactly as I wrote: the national average is $3.14/gallon. But there are gobs of places with gasoline prices lower today than when Trump left office.

Yes, the prices did go down under Obama.
SNIP By the week of Trump’s inauguration, the average fuel price was around $2.32, according to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The highest price during his administration was $2.96 in May 2018, and its lowest was around $1.77 in April 2020, when much of the country was locked down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. When Trump left office on Jan. 20, 2021, the average price was around $2.39 a gallon.
Prices have indeed surged since the beginning of the Biden administration, with the national average currently at $4.82, according to AAA. While critics have blamed the president, experts have pointed to several other reasons for the spike, including higher demand after the easing of pandemic restrictions and the steep price of oil as many buyers refuse to purchase Russian oil due to its invasion of Ukraine.SNIP
And It's back down again under Biden after the supply line tussle. For $1.98 you need pandemic and restrictions. Good luck with that.
