The Biden administration is looking into prices at the pump and why they are higher than they are supposed to be.
“There’s lots of evidence that gas prices should be going down -- but they haven’t,” President Joe Biden said on Thursday, as quoted by Bloomberg. “We’re taking a close look at that.”
“We’re also going after the bad actors and pandemic profiteers in our economy,” the U.S. president also said.
U.S. gas prices have risen by as much as 50 percent since the start of the year. Earlier this week, the average reached $3.19 per gallon, Bloomberg noted, citing data from the AAA, which is the highest since October 2014. The reason for the rise appears to be a strong rebound in fuel demand as the U.S. reopened after pandemic lockdowns. Still, the Biden administration has signaled it had its suspicions about other factors at play.
...
last month, the Biden administration called on OPEC+ to boost oil production in order to help U.S. retail gas prices to fall. The call caused a sour reaction in Alberta, which is the biggest supplier of foreign oil to the United States, and no reaction from OPEC+.

This is just more noise that they are generating to cause further confusion. This is intentional to draw the Fake News watching American publics short attention span away from Afghanistan, Treason, Sedition and growing covid-shot deaths and injuries.
OK, name just ONE bit of evidence. Just ONE will do.
Someone should probe what’s left of Biden’s brain.
RATS aren’t smart enough to understand the business model of a lemonade stand...
[[Usual pattern. Cause a problem, Blame it on someone else, use it as an excuse for more power and taxes]]
Bingo. I believe it is straight fro. The “rules for radicals” playbook isn’t it?
Then, when they finally get their decades-long wish, what do they do? They decry those same high prices they fought for and look for culprits.
The stupidity is so far off charts it's floating out around Pluto.
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP brought the USA to energy independence. Now were back to square one and you wonder why. Do you ever question what your behind scenes HANDLERS instruct you to do? With your childish hatred of Bad Orange Man, you've managed to screw up every positive domestic and foreign policy that was working.
Last thought Mr. Pretend President. We all saw you look at your watch numerous times at the return of our brave young men and women. ALL YOU HAD TO DO IS FOLLOW TRUMP'S DEAL WITH THE TALIBAN ON MAY 1ST AND THE FIASCO OF KABUL WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. YOU WILL FOREVER OWN THAT DEBACLE.
You should send them your $500,000 invoice for your research and report.
Biden: “The buck stops here. Except it’s Trump’s fault. And people who don’t take the vax. And eeeevill corporations.”
Biden will start by probing all little girls in America, and expand the probes from there.
The investigation is to determine why prices have not spiked to over $10 a gallon as planned.
LOL. Good line.
Dang, beat me to it.
They should hire Bill O’Reilly. He was a public idiot over this topic. Almost as dumb as Biden trying to figure out why energy costs are rising at ridiculous rates.
Maybe it’s all of those gas powered generators used to charge the E.V.’s.
An honest investigation would reveal Congress and himself to blame.
Yup, a kid at a lemonade stand figures out supply and demand. Too much demand, get more lemons. Too little demand lower prices. As for multi-year studies, since when did common-sense fit into their equations or anything anymore?
you will be closer to the answer revealed... all the gas powered cars need to be replaced by EV asap
moving up the 50% by 2050 to 2020
Indeed Biden is to stupid to understand his own actions it just keeps getting worse by the day.
Stock market diving inflation leaving Americans to be murdered by the Taliban open border .....................
No wonder his brain scan only shows a blue screen
