Gasoline prices rose to a record high on Monday for the ninth consecutive day during President Joe Biden’s battle against US energy, according to AAA data.
The average price of a gallon of gasoline was $4.86, up 25 cents since last Monday. Gasoline prices were $4.27 off last month, about 60 cents.
Gas prices are so high and expected to rise that Biden planned to visit Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in Saudi Arabia in July. On this trip, the president is expected to ask the crown prince to pump more oil as Biden continues his battle against American energy. But “the president’s trip to Saudi Arabia is unlikely to drive oil and fuel prices down, and it’s unclear whether everything he can do will work.” New York Times reported.

Biden had a different plan. Biden is expected to announce new directors on Monday rather than ending the US energy war, which includes increasing private and public spending to finance oil drilling, halting drilling on public lands and canceling the Keystone pipeline. Activities for the production of renewable energy sources. According to Reuters, “Biden will overcome a shortage in solar panel supply and provide assistance to discontinued projects in the US following an investigation that froze imports from major foreign suppliers.”

Throughout his presidency, Biden advocated for green energy rather than fossil fuels. Biden in April suggested Americans can save money by buying electric cars. “According to my plan, which is now before Congress, we can leverage the next generation of electric vehicles,” he said. “The average driver can save about $80 a month by not paying for gas at the gas station.”
Gas prices are expected to decrease in the near future. Americans will have to pay at least $4 per gallon for the foreseeable future, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm told reporters on Thursday. “Gas prices are likely to remain above $4 per gallon,” he calculated, based on Department of Energy data.
According to an ABC News poll, Biden’s approval rate for the gas price increase is 27 percent.
At the time of publication, this article misidentified the current upward trend in gas prices as only eight consecutive days. This has since been fixed.
