gallon. i paid $1.75 more a gallon. you pay $20 more every time you fill up. john: i happen to have a graphic of what you are talking about. let s put up the graphic. today average price of a gallon of gas regular across the country, $3.87 compared to a week ago or a month ago $3.56. $0.30 a gallon in a month and it hits people in the pocket. go back to when trump was president when it was $1.50 a gallon less. the gasoline price is so critical to how americans feel about the economy. i go back to the famous presidential election between ronald reagan and jimmy carter. you know why jimmy carter lost? the primary one was inflation. it killed people s budgets and americans felt like we need a new president. this is a big problem for joe biden if he is the democratic nominee. the inflation race when the gas price and energy price goes up that means since energy is an
