Energy experts unload on Biden after latest gas price gaffe: 'An instinctive liar'

Energy policy experts slammed President Biden after he falsely stated Thursday that the average price of gasoline was $5 a gallon when he took office in January 2021.

"Because of the actions we’ve taken, gas prices are declining," Biden remarked at an event in Syracuse, New York. "That’s adding up to real savings for families. Today, the most common price of gas in America is $3.39 — down from over $5 when I took office."

However, the average price of gasoline nationwide was $2.39 a gallon on Jan. 25, 2021, roughly 48% of what Biden claimed it was, according to the Energy Information Administration. In addition, while some estimates show that the most common price of gas is currently around $3.39 per gallon, the average pump price in the U.S. ticked up to $3.76 a gallon on Friday, AAA data showed.

And the average price of gasoline surged past $5 a gallon for the first time ever in June, 17 months after Biden took office. Overall, gas prices are more than 57% higher than they were when the president took office.

 "The guy is an instinctive liar," Steve Milloy, a senior legal fellow at the Energy & Environment Legal Institute, told FOX Business. "It's very clear that gas prices were rock bottom when he became president, and it's very clear that his policies have sent gas prices up." Read more and see video here.

Battleground Nevada: It All Comes Down to This County That's Been Thrashed By Biden's Agenda

Matt Vespa / Townhall Tipsheet

 

Nevada could be one of the states that Republicans pick up in 2022. Democrats have let this one slip away, with incumbent Democratic Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto in danger of losing her seat to Republican Adam Laxalt. The last string of polls has Laxalt either in the lead or trailing by two, but the most damning sign that Masto could be updating her resume soon is the liberal poll from Data for Progress showing Laxalt in the lead by one point. When Democratic polls can’t hide the danger, you know the situation is terrible, and the momentum is with the GOP in the final days of the 2022 elections.
