Gas was at $2.46 in January, 2017
Gas was at $2.63 in January, 2020
Then something happened, which btw is still effecting prices today since a barrel of oil went below $0 at one point and production shutdown and some companies went bankrupt, laid off workers, liquidated capital, etc.. Why would oil companies reinvest in capital and labor when they're taking in record profits now?
So I guess we're going to take the "benefit" of the pandemic when saying gas prices were lower under Trump but when job reports come out showing historic job growth now, we're going to Laughy O'lantern it.
