Closer to $10 actually :( it was $7.50 before the war even started

Okay then how about renewable energy bills then, Repubs? *Shrieks in coal roller*

The people that blame Biden are also the pro russian idiots, they really have no clue.

Of course Biden has nothing to do with the price of petrol in UK.

Biden sets the worlds gas prices every day. /s

Gas in Vietnam is 30.000₫ a liter or 5.8$ a gallon. Shit is expensive everywhere.
qwertdeep
It hasn’t gone up too much in India, the high is Rs105 per litre, it was Rs95 in Jan/Feb
thevortexmaster
In Canada they blame Trudeau. Mind you our carbon tax probably just went up again for gas.
ahernandez
The because you enjoy it part is underrated. Human psychology is fucking weird that we can get angry so often that we start to like it
qwertdeep
This meme is either misinformed or purposely deceitful. UK always has higher fuel prices than US, both of their fuel prices have gone up/
qwertdeep
Considerably since the Ukraine war started, both leaders of each country have had similar responses regarding sanctions. The propaganda/
qwertdeep
Might as well switch up to “the rising fuel and food prices are a worthy sacrifice to punish the Russians”
kikichunt
US gas is heavily subsidized, and is cheaper than just about anywhere else on the planet - but hey, that fucker Biden and his taxes . . .

Finland is getting really close to 10$/Gallon 2,5€/L for diesel and 98E5

on and RE85 is like 1,7€/L

I love how people say "Biden's gas tax"... But the federal gas tax hasn't changed since 94... So it's Clinton's gas tax, oh well.

Ha, I forgot about that

$7.75 is still cheap, 95 unleaded was over 10 dollars here (norway) today
Efreeti
and it has been over 12 recently
SithElephant
Yeah, this is bullshit. It has nothing to do with Biden, but the tax on motor fuel is very high in the UK.
SithElephant
The continuing failure (since the 70s) to bring online refineries capable of dealing with newer US crude is also a major part. But even
SithElephant
Raegan is as much as fault as any of the presidents.
thevortexmaster
Same in Canada. We have a shitton of oil but don't refine it so we sell 99.9% to the USA then the states sells it back to us plus heavy tax
TheGriffin
Meanwhile people here are clamoring for the government to drop taxes to bring prices down. They genuinely believe it will help
schlockchurch
These people believe that, even though millions of acres of public land is already leased to drill and going unused, drilling restrictions>
schlockchurch
are causing a hike in prices. If not that, shutting down processors. If not that, corps preparing for high taxes. If not that, gay men exist
svga
per litre or per gallon? is there a parallel increase since Jan 2021? are their prices always as high?
SirChadwellHeath
Prices fell to a recent low just after lockdown 2020, since then >50% increase https://www.racfoundation.org/data/uk-pump-prices-over-time
ChloeRed
per US gallon, yes, yes.
RetrogradeLlama
No, no, no, it's all Democrats fault because they don't want oil companies to get leases for wells that would come in 40 years from now /S
weirdcalculator
The real kicker about that is that Biden has signed more drilling permits than Trump in the same period.
TacoPoweredHelicopter
Also big gas companies have done the math and most new wells make no senseong term.
HalcyonGlaze
Don’t forget that the historic high of actually drilling being performed/us output was under Obama, in which Biden was #2.
charondaboatman
To be fair, gas prices have always been higher in the UK vs. the US. The UK is a net importer of fuel. The US is a net exporter.
ThisIsAWasteOfMyTime
Yeah, this is an insane argument. Gas prices in most of Europe have always been *massively* higher than in the USA.
tr26
Plus our subsidies and lower fuel taxes.
mirrorz
Yep. Totally the guy in the US setting the prices and noooo possible way could it be OPEC/corporate greed doing it. /obvious sarcasm
qwertdeep
I’m guessing actions that affect supply and demand are beyond the imagination of some people. Affecting fuel prices can only be someone/
qwertdeep
Setting prices and never the result of deteriorated trade relations with other countries.NATO sanctions did not affect fuel prices at all /s
wowbaggerthethird
and when prices are low then OPEC/corporations are not greedy, or how does that work? Greed is like flu? Seasonal?
dohcohv
OPEC likes to fuck with any competition, cut supply to raise prices, alternatives come up like oil sands, then flood market and make them
dohcohv
Unprofitable. Competitors lose billions and think twice about increasing production in the future.
Bovisstercus
Prices are set by supply and demand (and in the case of oil prices, speculation).

I read a news article once about a former incel, and he said that hate consumed him. It gave him energy and was on this weird 1/2

I really think those Biden stickers on gas pumps are put there by the oil companies.
ThisGuyHere
Mostly just their employees in the oil fields and their families who think they have the hardest job on the face of the earth.

Don't get me wrong, it's a physically tough and time demanding job, but holy shit the superiority complex on some of these guys.

The president gets up every morning, has a cup of coffee, takes a dump, and then sets that day's gas prices. It's how capitalism works. /s
WellAckchually
At Biden's age if he takes a good dump every morning he's doing pretty well
TheJuiceLoosener
And hires black antifas to go into the supermarket at night and swap in higher price tags

Fact: The president has to pay for the food he gets in the White House, so he pays for that coffee!

I'll give you one better. US presidents, Democrats or Republicans, generally have little control over their contemporary economy at all.
WhichIsIt
Contemporaneous
Bovisstercus
Economic cycles are mainly something that happen to them and voters are largely fallacious in judging them by economic success or failure.

While that’s generally true, as the article you posted states, times of crisis is one of the few times when a president’s actions do affect/
qwertdeep
The economy. So when this Russia crisis happened, and US + allies decided to sanction Russia (who has the 2nd largest crude oil exports)/
qwertdeep
Those sanctions are actions that had a short term impact on fuel prices. Also this meme pointing at UK is just being dishonest, BJ took a/
