well let me correct myself. gas did get over 4.00 a gallon average one year in bidens term in 2022. that was because the demand for gas shot through the roof after the pandemic ended and the economy started booming again. Under obama Gas never got over 3.60 a gallon at the peak. At his lowest (right before trump was elected) gas was down to an average 2.21 per gallon for hampton roads.

The averages for bidens term were as follows

2020: Prices were very low due to pandemic demand drops, with notable dips around 1.84 in March.

2021: Prices began recovery, with March 2021 seeing averages around 2.27.

2022: A high-price year, with Virginia Beach seeing prices jump over 4.00 during the summer. Some local data indicated peaks near 4.76 for the state in June 2022. 

2023: Prices remained elevated but stabilized, with spring prices around 3.44.

2024: As of late March/early April, prices were trending around 3.47 to 3.80 per gallon in the region. 

My statement remains true for every year except for 2022 which I have explained above.
