Bear in mind though that for the week ending March 28, the week before President Joe Biden announced that the government would release a million barrels of oil per day from emergency stockpiles, gasoline prices were $4.231, according to weekly EIA data – 25.9 cents less than prices at the pump today.
BUT, given WTI’s move, we suspect this slump in pump prices could be over (and the mini-bounce in Biden’s approval ratings dies in darkness).
REPORTER: “Aren’t you having it both ways, Jared? Because when the gas prices go up, it’s got nothing to do with the president. When we see some decline, you want him to get the credit.”
