"Rising Gas Prices Under Biden Administration: What's Driving the Increase?"

Gas prices in the U.S. have more than doubled since President Biden took office, despite the White House claiming that costs have fallen for everyday purchases. The national average cost for a gallon of gas is now approximately $3.62, up from $2.39 when Biden was sworn in. Data from GasBuddy shows a steady rise in gas prices, increasing around 25 cents per gallon since the beginning of March. The White House did not immediately respond to inquiries about the matter. In June 2022, the national average cost for a gallon of gas hit $5, the highest since AAA started tracking the data in 2000.
