Gas prices have more than doubled under President Biden’s administration.
Since Biden took office in January 2021, the price for a gallon of gas has doubled.
On Jan. 20, 2021, the average price for a gallon of gas nationwide was approximately $2.39. As of Saturday, the price for a gallon of gas has skyrocketed to $4.81, up five cents from Friday, according to AAA.
GAS PRICES ON THE ROAD TO $5 NATIONWIDE VERY SOON
The White House this week cheered an OPEC decision to boost supply and has tapped the Strategic Petroleum Reserve while criticizing U.S. energy companies for not increasing production.
Republicans have used the ongoing, unprecedented rise in gas prices and inflation as a cudgel against the Biden administration.
“Joe Biden’s war on American energy has forced families across the country to empty their wallets to fill their tanks,” RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel told Fox News in a statement. “Unfortunately, Biden is doubling-down on his disastrous agenda because he’s not the one paying the price – the American people are.”
It’s becoming even more likely that the national average will reach $5 per gallon and that could hit as soon as June 17, Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy, projected.
