President Joe Biden warned American oil companies on Wednesday not to raise prices on gasoline, in anticipation of Hurricane Ian hitting Florida.
“Do not. Let me repeat. Do not. Do not use this as an excuse to raise gasoline prices or gouge the American people,” Biden said sternly during an event in Washington, DC.
Biden said the price of oil “remained relatively low” and there was no reason for prices to go up, even though oil companies have evacuated offshore oil and natural gas fields in the Gulf of Mexico in anticipation of the storm.
The storm is expected to shut down eleven percent of oil production in the Gulf of Mexico, according to reports, prompting the price of oil to rise on Wednesday.

just wait until those gas stations are raided by the FBI
Who does this guy think he is...ordering businesses not to raise prices?
It’s up 4.3% to 81.92
Raising prices or “price gouging” increases supply.
If you start getting $100/gallon for gas people fall all over themselves to truck it in. Against all odds and difficulties.
More and more comes in, demand decreases, prices fall. Availability and affordability return.
I think businesses should charge whatever they want for their goods. People can buy them or not. Emergency services are still in place if needed.
Businesses should do what they need to do to stay in business.
Biden can’t even take care of his own business.
There might have been pre emptive price increases from coast to coast.
They went up out in the West Coast with no reasons cited.
Ooooooooooooooo, a warning from Lunch Bucket Joe.
Clueless Joe Jackson.
Some gas stations are already sold out of gas in Florida.
I wonder how all those Venezuelan immigrants fee when they see a President shaking his fist and telling companies what to charge for products. Therein lies the road to Venezuela today...
Don't insult one of my favorite 80s artists.
Fireone warns Joe Biden:
“Do not. Let me repeat. Do not. Do not use your insane Iflation Bill, or other ridiculous green bullshit, to raise my taxes.”

Priceless
Next up, free money for everyone that votes with the communists.
The plan was to have gas below $3/gal by election day so the rubes wouldn’t be mad and turn out to vote for republicans. Ian blew that plan up like it was an undersea Russian pipeline
Don't insult one of my favorite 80s artists.
Actually it was a take off of Shoeless Joe Jackson.
Ah you are probably right.
I was wondering why gas shot up 50 cents a gallon overnight in California. Yep.
In California 1.18 of every gallon is tax now. We are paying about $6 per gallon around here.
A semi-fascist?
He sure does love to constantly berate gas stations and oil companies. What a staggering, despicable, vile POS.
Too bad the oil companies and utility companies can’t shut off the fuel to his huge fleet of gas guzzlers, Air Force 1, and the White Hut.
