President Biden lashed out at gas stations on Tuesday for allegedly being tardy in lowering the price of fuel in line with dropping oil prices.
During a meeting Monday with economic aides, Biden lamented that while crude prices fell sharply last month, it has taken a “long time” for the drop in price to trickle down to the consumer.
“We haven’t seen the lower prices reflected at the pump though. Meanwhile, oil and gas companies are still making record profits — billions of dollars in profit,” the president said Monday.
“My message is simple. To the companies running gas stations and setting those prices at the pump: Bring down the prices you’re charging at the pump to reflect the cost you pay for the product.”
The president exhorted gas stations to pass along savings to customers more quickly.
“Do it now,” Biden said. “Do it now. Not a month from now — do it now.”
“And it’s going to save people a lot of money.”

If they did that, 80% of gas stations would be out of business
in three to six months.

Correct.
The Dems were taking credit for “lower” gas prices just recently.

The RIN's (carbon credits) that oil refineries have to buy, adds to the cost at the pump. I've read it adds 75¢/gallon, and with Biden's raising of the ethanol mandate to 15% it's $1/gallon.
No doubt related to Musk coming out and saying not to quit using oil and natural gas. He doesn't want his free cash cow going away any time soon. (Tesla's largest profit source is from selling fake carbon credits to companies like oil refineries.)

“Do it now,” Biden said. “Do it now. Not a month from now — do it now.” Did he lean into the microphone and whisper when he said this?

Biden pulled his selloff stunt of our oil reserves too early and now the gas prices are going to climb just in time for the elections.

Gas is about 3 or 4 cents on a gallon for stations; they make their money on in store sales.

"Biden pumped up..." My first thought after seeing this title, was that Biden went bike-riding again, and his bicycle pump somehow got lodged up his Depends aperture.
