President Biden Says Drivers Are Able To Save About $25 A Month Because Of The Decrease In Gas Prices

With inflation increasing by 9.1% compared to last year, gas is a pain point for Americans across the country. Biden recently spoke about gas and how it’s impacting our daily lives. In a series of tweets, he  announced that the cost of gas has been on a decrease for more than 30 days.

President Biden took to Twitter and shared his experience as a kid when the cost of gas effected his family’s pockets. He tweeted:

Biden explained that the cheaper cost of gas allows the average driver to save $25 a month.

Gas prices have been dropping for 34 days straight, about 50 cents a gallon. That saves the average driver about $25 a month. I know those extra dollars and cents mean something. It’s breathing room. And we’re not done working to get prices even lower.

The POTUS also stated because of the change in gas prices families are able to save $25 a month.

Biden continued to say that the cost of oil has went down but there’s more work to be done:

Oil prices have come down 20% from June highs, but prices at the pump have only come down half as much. That’s unacceptable. It’s time for oil and gas companies to pass along their lower costs to Americans.

He also stated that he has been releasing 1 barrel every day from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

As gas prices are on the decline, July has seen the biggest drop in gas prices for one day.

According to Bloomberg, gas prices had the largest 24-hour drop in close to 15 years in July. Prices reportedly fell by 3.1 cents to $4.721 a gallon overnight, based on new figures from AAA. These latest numbers are on track with current prices that have been falling for the past 24 days, which is the longest time-frame of decline since back in April 2020.

While there is a decrease in prices, the cost of gas is currently $1.60 more compared to a year ago.
