Probably complaining that his cut is late. Also

“upward pressure” is “likely to continue” as the war rages on.

Yeah, we know. And he can't end the war without looking weak, so it's yet another Forever War ...

Given the nurgle cultist he has in the cabinet, i would not be surprised if the plan is another pandemic to reduce oil costs.

To... reduce oil costs? Why would he do that? They're right there, in the White House. That's where his priorities lie. If anything, he wants gas prices to be higher...

Only because Americans seem to only judge a president by the oil costs. If it gets too high they may get angry.

4 years? I'm sure it's Biden's fault.

Actually the highest I've seen in my life. In CA our cheapest went over $6 (with credit. 5.90 with debit lol).

Where do they keep getting "in four years" from. Post COVID boom never hit $6.
