Sure they do
Why should they listen when they have a narrative that Joe Biden is intentionally driving up gas prices to satisfy the extreme environmentalists on his extreme left wing?
How unfortunate for democrats that Biden looks like the guy who could not control gas prices like Trump could.
The extreme, insane left will hate him for not causing prices to continue going up.
When you factor in our country’s high-income levels and wealth relative to the price of gas, the United States has the fourth-highest gasoline affordability rating on the globe (that is, one gallon of gas costs only a tiny fraction of our average daily income).
And just in case you were wondering, the countries with the most expensive gas prices are generally in Europe, with Finland, Denmark and Norway all charging around $10.00 per gallon. Hong Kong tops the list, though, at a whopping $11.45 per gallon!

Fuel pricing is constantly shifting around the world. The U.S. is among top 20 but what are the cheapest gas prices by country? Check out the top 10.www.ezinvoicefactoring.com
All trolls should be banned
Gas prices jumped more than $3/gallon under Biden and then democrats praise Biden when the prices fall back down 4 or 5 cents a gallon. How stupid is that?
About as stupid as you would expect from a troll like LUser Name
The question is, why have gas prices gone up $3/gallon over the past couple of years?
This thread is proof of that. The current high price of gas is the main talking point of the Republicans going into the 2022 midterm elections. They can't afford to have the price of gas go down between now and then. If it does, Republicans will be forced to run on their other main vote-getter--forcing 10-year-old rape victims to carry their pregnancies to term.
Inflation is global and largely the consequence of the pandemic shutdowns and related stresses--thank Trump for that. The current inflation is also caused by the Fed keeping interest rates low for too long:

Fed Chair Jerome Powell was a chief proponent early on of the idea that the price hikes would be “transitory” and ease more quickly as supply chain problems got fixed and more people went back to work. Biden and the White House adopted that term as well before having to ditch it. Because inflation has turned out to be longer-lasting, the Fed had to quickly shift gears in December and say it would pull back its highly stimulative policies.
Inflation blame game: Sorting out the culprits
The truth about who or what is actually at fault for inflation numbers not seen since the 1980s is more complex than any political talking points or anti-Fed screeds.www.politico.com
Here are some causes for the spike in gas prices and inflation I have heard from questionable sources:
Idiots think high gas prices are just a tool the republicans designed and invented to get back at Biden for winning the popular vote in 2020, but that is idiocy.
Unbelievable. Lefties accusing republicans of obstruction, fear-mongering, and destroying the economy? One of the worse ways to fix a problem getting out of hand is to give charge to the idiots who caused the problem the responsibility of fixing the problem by doubling down on the bad policies that caused the problem to begin with.
Low interest rates caused low gas prices? So why not keep interest rates low if that will give massive relief to the poor? Why raise interest rates if that will increase heavy burdens on the poor with high gas prices, high food costs, huge increases in the cost of living, and a huge decrease in access to borrowing at the bank?Inflation is global and largely the consequence of the pandemic shutdowns and related stresses--thank Trump for that.

Lefties blame the rich and the businessmen for problems caused by leftist socialist policies, but lefties lie. Government control or takeover of businesses destroys economies, as people should have learned in Russia and Venezuela, if not elsewhere. And democrats do not tax the rich. They just say that to fool the gullible into voting for them. Obama had total control of power in DC during his first term and he did nothing in terms of 'taxing the rich' as you would expect. Besides, the rich, both democrat and republican, know how to protect their money from taxation in ways the poor have no access to.
