Inflation alone would have increased the price of a $1 gallon of gas in 1998 to $1.62 in 2021.

So Trump's policies put gas prices pretty close to where they should've been during his tenure.

This is probably not accurate. Drilling stopped because no one wanted crude oil. There were crude oil stockpile increases, refineries cut back production, this stuff takes time to ramp back up. Especially considering the financial loses of petroleum companies.
It's 100% accurate. Yes there was plenty of oil on the market which reduced gas prices. Great for the consumer. Biden came in and shut down drilling on Federal land. Reduced the amount of domestic oil produced after we had finally reached self sufficiency and had become the world's biggest oil producer. And we're all paying at the pump now. Guess what? That's no big deal for someone with good pay but tell that to a guy making $30k a year who burns 10 gallons a week. He's having over $600 a year extra of take home pay taken away from him. Elections have consequences.
