It's Official: The Average Gas Price Has Hit An All-Time High. Thanks, Joe Biden!
· Mar 7, 2022 · NottheBee.com

The Biden Administration is setting all sorts of new records, and none of them are good.

According to GasBuddy, the average price for a gallon of gas has just hit the highest it's ever been.

In history.

From GasBuddy:

The national average price of gasoline in the U.S. today broke the existing record, rewriting the all-time high to today's $4.104 per gallon, according to GasBuddy, the leading fuel savings platform saving North American drivers the most money on gas. The previous all-time high was set back in 2008 at $4.103 per gallon, just ahead of the U.S. Great Recession and housing crisis. The national average price of diesel is also nearing a new record, now at $4.63 per gallon, likely to break the record of $4.846 per gallon in the next two weeks.

In addition to setting a new all-time high, the national average is seeing its largest ever 7 day spike: 49.1 cents per gallon, eclipsing the 49.0 cent weekly rise after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Many gas price records have been broken due to Russia's war on Ukraine, which has pushed Western countries to impose severe sanctions on Russia, curbing Russian exports of crude oil to the global market.

If only someone could have predicted this would happen under the watch of a 50-year politician who hasn't been listening to anyone but the climate activists.

On Saturday, the U.S. national average gas price surpassed $4 per gallon for the first time since 2008, and Friday's spike alone came close to the record daily rise of 18 cents per gallon, increasing nearly 16 cents per gallon in one day. Diesel prices, however, did break records on Friday, as diesel soared to its largest daily gain ever: 22.2 cents per gallon, 6 cents higher than the previous record from 2013.

"Americans have never seen gasoline prices this high, nor have we seen the pace of increases so fast and furious. That combination makes this situation all the more remarkable and intense, with crippling sanctions on Russia curbing their flow of oil, leading to the massive spike in the price of all fuels: gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and more," said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. "It's a dire situation and won't improve any time soon. The high prices are likely to stick around for not days or weeks, like they did in 2008, but months. GasBuddy now expects the yearly national average to rise to its highest ever recorded."

Highest average price ever, the biggest increase in a 7 day period ever, as well.

This administration is an absolute disaster.

The bad news, according to De Haan, is that it's going to continue to get worse. New records will be set on a daily basis, and I think we know who's largely to blame.
