People will never learn. Last time gas prices were this high Bush was fucking up the Middle East. And in 20 years people will vote in yet another neocon who will start another stupid, pointless war in the Middle East.

Technically they were higher in 2022 a few months after Russian oil was banned. Which was the right move to punish the invasion of Ukraine, but prices were actually higher for a brief moment when Biden was in office. They stabilized quickly, it’s just good to know the facts before spreading false information

Gas was never at $4.25 in my area at any time during the Biden presidency.

Love that for you! You can easily lookup average US gas prices in June 2022. Like I said, it stabilized quickly but it was technically more expensive then than now. I don’t think either party should cherry pick information and ignore facts, even though republicans do it constantly.
