Why are gasoline prices up 30% since Biden's election? ?

Question

Why are gasoline prices up 30% since Biden's election? ?

Answer 1

ih because we are led by a complete bunch ot idiots is the whole and fat of it

Answer 2

New Green Deal. It's coming. It's OK for Kerry to actually go in a private jet to pick up some Global Warming award because, as he explains, he's dedicating his life to stopping it. Everyone else needs to do something more substantial. Y'know, so he can keep flying in his private jets to his many homes and sail in his huge yacht.

Answer 3

its all ways been that way prices go up and down and up again for years its all ways been that way where have you been living under a rock dummy , gee

Answer 4

Prices were going up long before he was elected...

Answer 5

It's gone up $.40 in NE Ohio.  Giving up our energy independence will do that.  You ain't seen nothin' yet.

Answer 6

I am not too sure but it seems a pattern when democrat presidents get elected. They process to be working for the poor and destitute people but those are the very people who seem to suffer the most under their yolk.

Answer 7

Gasoline prices for the last ten years have fluctuated between just below 2 dollars a gallon and $2.75 a gallon. Before ten years ago it was up to 5 dollars a gallon. Biden's been president less than a month.

Answer 8

Normal course of business by oil companies, irrational rise in prices to make their bottom line look good when demand is down.

Answer 9

Gasoline prices are not up 30% in the past 2 weeks.  This is a totally predictable right-wing propaganda lie.

Answer 10

OPEC have slowed production to inflate Crude Prices.

Unless Biden is President of the world, it has nothing to do with him as they are rising worldwide.

Answer 11

It's only gone up maybe $.25 per gallon since Joe Biden got elected as president.

Answer 12

He could care less about you are I.





Its all about pushing through his far left agenda and destoying fossil fuels jobs.

Answer 13

Joe Biden just eliminated thousands of oil pipeline jobs with the stroke of a pen.  He even cost "Canadian" pipeline workers their jobs.  Unfortunately, Biden is just a "puppet" for a group of radical Leftists who pull his strings and tell him what to do.



Have you noticed how "few TV appearances" Biden has made since getting sworn in?  It's because every time you see him, he looks old, worn-out, exhausted, and confused.  The puppet masters want us to see Biden on camera "as little as possible" until he steps down and lets Kamala Harris take the reigns.

Answer 14

Airline travel...  ---  For months there were fewer airline flights because of COVID.  Less oi used to make jet fuel = more used for gasoline causing a surplus of gasoline causing lower gas prices. ===  Election Nov 4 == The comes Thanksgiving -- and a VERY large increase in airline traffic (people were too stupid to follow the recommendations to stay home and isolate).  Suddenly there is a huge demand for jet fuel == oil companies make less gasoline, causing gas prices to go up.  ==  Then comes Christmas == Even more people travel for Christmas == causing (for the sam reason) another increase in gas prices.  Give a big company MONEY == it is like cocaine -- and they don't want to decrease their income -- prices seldom drop..  gas price has nothing t do with the election.  Airline travel causes big changes in prices bcause those planes use thousands of gallons for a single flight.  ====  Look up prices before and immediately after 9/11  ===  There was a hugh decrease in airine flights and the price before compared to the price after dropped by over $1.00 per gallon ---  some places it even dropped almost $2,00 per gallon.  6 months later, as people started flying again, gasoline prices went back up.

Answer 15

Because Biden killed the Keystone XL pipeline, banned fracking, and closed oil leases on public lands. Oil market speculators started purchasing and the price of oil has gone from $40/barrel at the time of the stolen election, to $55.

Answer 16

Going to go higher,, he is buying from the middle east again.his agenda was to keep trumps going of america first, but he lied once again

Answer 17

Like many statistics you just made that up or you were misinformed. Retail gas prices averaged $2.2 per gallon in November and $2.42 in January that is closer to a ten percent gain since the election. 



Note that Biden has been in office only since January 20th. Furthermore the retail price of gasoline fluctuates dramatically. There is nothing unusual at all about that price increase. 



Please check out the graph in my sources.  

Answer 18

Gas prices have been rising steadily since April of 2020.

This has not been an all of a sudden kind of thing.

Answer 19

Investors are pulling out of Natural Gas and investing in renewable energy. This has been happening for a long time now , even under Trumps presidency. Also Trump never saved any coal power plants, that was just a un kept promise to get him elected.

Answer 20

Biden was going to raise taxes, he just didn't tell you how.

Answer 21

Because he is trying to kill energy producing states I think they should stop all fossil fuel production for or until the pandemic is cleaned up that will help the environment. 

Answer 22

Good question. It's gone up over 15 cents a gallon in my area ...

Answer 23

ARE they?  Not where I live, and fuel is VERY cheap here.



@L:  Canada IS a foreign country.

Answer 24

Because he's closed the pipeline and now we are back to depending on foreign countries for gasoline.

Answer 25

You are shopping in the wrong places.  Hasn't budged a nickel's worth in days.

Answer 26

They're not where I live. You must live around cuckroaches. Vermin are expensive.

Answer 27

What did you think would happen when Biden canceled the Keystone XL pipeline and stopped the leasing of land for oil exploration?! Next you taxes will go up.

Answer 28

(keystone is not/ was not operating, so that's not it)

Answer 29

Biden is now opposing fracking, ended an economically efficient oil pipeline and has cut oil permits for both federal and Native 

American lands (blatantly disregarding Native American treaty rights).



While there are no shortages yet, the potential repercussions of this decreased oil supply are already impacting the market.  .

Answer 30

They go up every January / February i feel like .. they were only low because there was an oil war basically 

Answer 31

Prices has already started to rise under Trump. It has nothing to do with Biden. Biden needs to get us out of this problem Trump led us in.

Answer 32

Opec. cut back production, so we are selling our oil outside of the USA. Oil companies want higher prices to make a bigger profit. This has nothing todo with Biden. Check prices on oil over the past few months. It has been rising and US oil has not been pumping. Guess What!! SHORTAGE Have to Raise prices because of demand.

Answer 33

Gas prices have decreased in my area since the election.  Don't listen to limpwristed brits especially now that Scotland is going to dump them.

Answer 34

Inflation always rockets under a liberal government because they spend, spend, spend and Inflation escalates. 

Here in Britain under the Labour government in 2008 petrol (gas) was £1.43p per litre,  now 13 years later under the Conservative government it's only 1.19p per litre.

That says it all, really! 

Answer 35

Oil speculators who bought and held the crude decided what they would set the price to months ago.

Answer 36

Prices go up in the winter because there is more demand for oil. They go down in the spring and up again when people start to travel during summer. Then they go down again. The man hasn't been in office for a month and you're trying to blame him for this?

Answer 37

Gas prices were sky high under Obama.  He, like Biden wanted to destroy fossil fuels.  That's not a good sign for gas prices.

Answer 38

Seeing as how nothing substantial has changed yet, it sounds like you're getting hosed by the gas producers and trying to place the blame elsewhere. He (Biden) will screw up for sure, but this is a bit of a stretch.

Answer 39

While prices to fluctuate, they always follow the law of supply and demand. Biden and Democrats are opposed to oil production (aka fracking) in the United States, and are more interested in abiding by some environmentalist agenda than the wealth or poverty of the average American.

Answer 40

Normal course of business by oil companies, irrational rise in prices to make their bottom line look good when demand is down.

Answer 41

because they were so low due to lack of travel because of covid, the Gas companies were losing a crapload of money 

so they decided to up the prices to compensate, and its been happening since the end of december 

one anonymous already said all this 

Answer 42

You are either too lazy to look up the information for yourself, or you are simply a liar.  Gas prices nationally are below what they were this time last year.

Answer 43

Ge ready, everything will be up soon... especially taxes.. he will tax us to death to pay for all these pie in the sky plans he has.  Puts people out of work and then still wants to spend everything.  This man is nuts!

Answer 44

Biden doesn't control gasoline prices. Oil is sold on the open market and market forces determine prices. 

Answer 45

Gas prices haven't gone up 30% since Biden was inaugurated although they will definitely go up now that he has shut down the pipeline and forcing us to depend on higher-priced foreign oil once again. Once the Covid threat goes away and everyone resumes normal activity, the demand for oil will increase and we'll see the prices skyrocket once again due to using the foreign oil.

Answer 46

Because the pipeline is closed

and American Oil is profetting.

This is a good thing for the "internal Economy"

Answer 47

@ the bax.....The keystone XL has nothing to do with gas prices, in fact American wouldn't get a drop of those tar sands. They just want a route to refineries, and the oil does NOT benefit the U.S.whats so ever. Going to other countries. Do the homework for facts!......Your question doesn't reflect gas in my area, but refineries has raised their cost, slightly, it is predicted that gas will remain under $3.00 a gal. for 2021.

Answer 48

The big gas companies saw an opening and they took it here gas is up but not that much as you say it is .

Answer 49

gasoline storage are decreasing the world wide. that's the reason.

Answer 50

He shut down the Keystone pipeline and killed all of the usage grants for drilling on federal land. Soon OPEC will jack prices up on selling us oil and drive gas prices up. American oil companies up just getting a jump on the deal.

Answer 51

It's went up like 40 cents here since that fool was elected. He cost people jobs and p*ssed off Canada over what he did. Hope all the Biden lovers are happy now.

Answer 52

only 30 percent? give it another year and see how you feel when it goes up 100 percent.

Answer 53

Because freedom isn't free and it sure as Hell ain't cheap!



Here are your options:



A)  A dictatorship under Drumpf and 'Yes.' once he gets full power he will come in a take your precious guns and anything else he wants and America will become a Turrd World Shiet Hole.



B)  Democracy under Biden where the majority rules but is not allowed to trample the rights of the minority or the one.



So basically you can have cheap gas but nowhere to go because everything is being burnt down under Drumpf or you can pay a little more and have nice things under Biden.



I'll take Biden for four years of peace and sanity Alex!

Answer 54

Probably because people are going back to work instead of wandering around coughing on other people.

Answer 55

I think it has something to do with the Biden family's heavy ties to Ukraine's oil oligarchy.

Answer 56

They are 30 cents cheaper than they were this time last year, my low-IQ little friend 

.

Answer 57

Because homelessness has increased and people are traveling less.  Less gasoline is being sold so prices have to be increased to assure profits. 

Answer 58

In central Texas gas prices were around $1.59/gal for regular during summer of 2020, now price is generally north of $2.00/gal. This is a like a tax hike to low and middle income individuals and families. Impact is probably $3,000 to $5,000 per year. Thank a democrat next time you see one smashing a window in one of your neighborhood stores. They also go by Antifa, #BLM, Socialist and /or east/west coast elitists.

Answer 59

I always hear that gas prices will go up when Democrats get elected - but the highest price I've EVER paid for gas was when Dubya was in office, so Republicans can basically eat a bag of d'cks.

Answer 60

Not in my neck of the woods (Frisco Bay Area). Where I live, I have been paying about $2.79 per gallon. The price at that particular station did go up to $2.89 per gallon for unleaded the past few weeks, but I found another station that is selling gas at $2.81, after selling it for $3.15 for months before that.  Some stations did raise their price in November but only by about 20 cents per gallon, hardly 30%. I saw it rise as Thanksgiving approached and it rose some more near Christmas, probably because oil companies think they can raise prices because of the upcoming holidays when a lot of people drive to meet relatives for the holidays. 

Answer 61

Its not only the gas that has gone up since the election.  Just sit back and watch.  All US citizens/taxpayers are in deep trouble.

Answer 62

Because you lie is my guess. 

Answer 63

Presidents have no control over gas prices.  Wonder why you don't know this.

Answer 64

Liar. The average price of a gallon of gasoline is up just under 10% since November. But last year from April to November the average price of gas rose 30%. Who was president then?

Answer 65

that is OPEC,s doing, not Biden.

Answer 66

Not where I am. 

Since when do you need to buy gasoline in Mommy's basement?

Answer 67

Biden must be pissed. He was hoping for a 1000% increase causing Americans to ride mass transit 

Answer 68

It is still about supply and demand. I don't know where you're from but here in Dallas the price is hovering around $2.10 a gallon. Up from about 1.89. that is a little more than 10%.

Answer 69

It’s a conservative conspiracy to make Biden look bad.   

Answer 70

They aren't where I live. 

Answer 71

Petrol prices were climbing BEFORE the dotard LOSER left office!  

Answer 72

Gasoline prices have always gone up in the winter as more crude oil is diverted to producing home heating oil instead of gasoline.  Prices here have gone up by $0.09.

Answer 73

Like many statistics, you just made that up or you were misinformed. Retail gas prices averaged $3.2 per gallon in November and $3.72 in January that is closer to a ten percent gain since the election. 

Answer 74

The prices went down due to stay-at-home orders and lockdowns.  Now that they lifted the restrictions, the price went up again.  

Answer 75

As vaccines roll out, restrictions lifted, more people on the road, more demand for gas, price goes up. Seriously? This is basic basic economics 

Answer 76

Because all democrats hate America including Joe Biden.

Answer 77

It is natural inflation.

Answer 78

He is making it more affordable to get an electric car, OPEC knows this so is screwing us preemptively, also make him look bad, also to cop losses from people using their cars less quarantining. 

Answer 79

Cuz the Trump party likes doing shady deals with Russia and Saudi Arabia by looking the other way when they commit human rights violations in exchange for dirt cheap oil. 

Answer 80

Gas is NOT the only thing that will be going up in price.

Answer 81

Spreading False News.  T.O.S. violation.  REPORTED!

After more than 45 years do you profess to never have heard of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries?  That cartel rules the distribution of oil all across the world.  It sets the price & others have no choice but to fall into line.  A mere U.S. president has NEVER had the authority or ability to set that price.  The price directly affects the cost of gasoline.  You need to be a special class of fool to pretend to not understand this.  Your attempt to blame any increase in cost on a political leader is both laughable & shameful.    



I see "T.D.", the fruitboy troll & his collection of D.F.'s have some by, showing once again how completely F-ing DENSE they are about all things that don't involve him sucking penis & licking anus.  

Answer 82

Because since the pandemic, something has to go up to pay for vaccines, research and cures to get rid of the virus that has infected the country. Gasoline prices isn't the only thing that has gone up.



You can blame Trump for ignoring the pandemic problem, if he was really working on it, things wouldn't have skyrocketed so much.

Answer 83

If you think that's bad, just wait until US reserves start dropping over time because of Democrats' fear of oil...

Answer 84

Has not changed a dime around here.

Answer 85

Somebody's cut the juice innit 

Answer 86

It's an effect of the ongoing battle against Covid-19.

Answer 87

They  arent. At least, not in my neck of the cactus.

Answer 88

Well, you can't blame the shutting down of the Keystone pipe line because it wasn't even finished! Probably because commerce is cooking on the front burners again after people tried to get the economy back to normal and thought the pandemic was over. Biden has little to do with the economy.

Answer 89

More people are starting to travel again since the start of the pandemic.

Answer 90

Oil was off to a reasonably good start this year thanks to the start of a vaccination push and a Saudi commitment to cut more production. The continued surge in Covid-19 infections and a new flare-up in China shook optimism and weighed on prices, but now things appear to be looking up based on the latest supply and demand data and forecasts.



The U.S. Energy Information Administration also sounded an optimistic note recently, again grounded in economic recovery and mass vaccinations. The EIA said in its latest Short-Term Energy Outlook that it expected global liquids consumption to rise by 5.6 million bpd this year and another 3.3 million bpd in 2022. The agency also noted it expected a return to more normal travel patterns by the middle of this year, which would be particularly bullish for oil.

Answer 91

Wonder where the missing 22million doses of Vaccine are. One guess. They sure as hell are not going to the Palestinians.

Answer 92

Because Less people are driving Electric cars....Get one! Stop using Gas! End the Oil madness!

Answer 93

Because every refinery in the country is owned by the one Koch brother who has not died and gone to hell yet. 

Answer 94

Threats of war civil unrest and a nut job as President drove up the price of crude.

Answer 95

I don't know I hope they go down again!

Answer 96

Thsts a lie, $1.89 to $1.98 is not even 5%

But everything todays conservatives say is a lie

Today's Republicans no longer have honor, that why thousands are leving the party

@@L  Canada is a foreign country, did you fail 3rd grade geography?

Answer 97

Futures are up because they see problems with the production side in the US due to Biden's policy.

Note:  That's actually good for the oil companies.  Higher prices means more of a profit margin.

Answer 98

OPEC controls the price of oil.

Answer 99

Because if you remember under Trump the barrel of oil dropped BELOW ZERO, at the peak of the pandemic............On Monday, April 20, 2020, the price of oil traded deep into the red falling below zero for the first time ever shocking even the most seasoned energy traders and oil executives. So I  recall prices at the pump in Oklahoma anyhow was $1.37. The problem is, slews of oil workers in Oklahoma and Texas were furloughed or laid off.............You don't recall that? Many small drilling companies or companies associated with the oil industry, SHUT DOWN!! So now we are looking at a stabilization of the oil shown at the gas pump, Your 30% increase comes to $1.78 and of course the 7-11's and Casey's have to make a profit, so now your looking at around $1.95, I use E-85 thus my cost at the pump is $1.80. 



So at this point it has NOTHING to do with BIDEN, if anything it was on TRUMP who poorly communicated what needed to be said during the pandemic, and he FAILED to lead, but at this point nearly 450,000 dead, despite this the economy is trying get going, and naturally you will see an increase at the pump......................Does that make sense to a Trumptard????????

Answer 100

He said he was going to tax you.

He said he was going to waste your money.

He has hardly gotten started.

Just watch!

Let's have a chat in a year! 



Too soon old, too late smart!

Answer 101

Basic supply and demand.  Biden made several decisions that cut supply.  As a result prices are increasing.
