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+.

Gas jumped over 20 cents a gallon here in Ocala FL two days ago. Now it’s $3.04. Thanks Biden and Dems!!
Biden will blame Trump for the high gas prices, denounce the petroleum companies, declare a war on big oil (with new restrictions and taxes), promise everyone an electric car, and his idiot voter base will applaud.
to Biden: Save time! Look in the mirror.
“””“There’s lots of evidence that gas prices should be going down — but they haven’t,””””
Sorry Joe, the evidence that gas prices should even be higher than they are today are ‘trumped’ by any evidence you can come up with.
Joe and friends enjoy the result of issuing anti-oil and coal edicts.
I have never saw gas prices go up in the summer.
And virtually no one in the country knows this was done.
Look in the mirror.
We don’t know, but we need lots of money to find out.
Not stupidity. Evil. Pure evil. They know what they doing.
Launch!
Probe!
Soaring!!!!

“They know what they doing.”
Yes, everything they are doing is a planned part of “The Great Reset” or “New World Order” or communism. No doubt about it.
Nothing they did in Afghanistan was a simple “mistake.” Even bringing in thousands of Afghan refugees is part of the “browning” of America. Turning over $100 billion of sophisticated military gear to our enemies wasn’t a mistake.
Once again it is blatant lies in our faces. They do it out in the open and people just put up with it. 😡
I am surprised the Biden admin hasn’t drained US oil reserves like Obama and Clinton did. Maybe Bidenbot is waiting until closer to the midterm election.
perhaps they should all look in the mirror first. bunch of dumbasses
Wreckers, spies, and saboteurs, Comrades. They're working to undermine the socialist paradise before us.
The despicable rats in congress have already scheduled oil execs to appear so they can humiliate them and then extort money for the green scam
Well Joe, start with the usual “it’s what we inherited...”
WOW - that's delusional... even more so than the usual for senile snilly...
