What's your point?.... Gas prices are market driven, not regulated by administrations, or didn't you know that ?.... Trying to spread some lies maybe?

I will save this post of yours so when you start up about the price of gas in the next few months and start blaming the administration I can throw your words back at you. That's my point.

You really aren't too bright are you?.... We all know gas prices went up after the World Trade Center bombing as oil future speculators drove up the cost. Yet you post an image like you did using price comparisons from a States where gas is expensive (like California) at that time & contrasted it with prices from one where gas was a lot cheaper in an earlier decade. We are not as stupid as you might think..... Cheap political trick on your part, but it doesn't prove anything other than that you are a troll who deliberately tries to stir things up.... Grow up will you.

All of this is meaningless; when I was a young man, a new Caddy 2DR cost just under $3000.00 and a gallon of "Regular" was 18 cents where I live. Gasoline id a publicly-traded "commodity" and then you have various transportation and other costs. Nobody can make a point about ANY administration by quoting gas prices. On the early 1980's I had a chain of "convenience stores and we sold (unleaded) gas at 56 cents/gallon. In Texas, gas was still 39 cents.
I have a son. living in a different part of the country that has been paying $1.99 while my wife is paying $3.55. I can't drive anymore, because of "low-vision" problems, but I have a 1967 Chrysler New Yorker Touring Sedan "Resto-mod" in the garage that was burning $7.99/gallon fuel - 12 years ago! That was my choice; I built it to delivery 850HP from 523 CID.
Gasoline price cannot be used to "prove" anything. BTW, I paid over $8.00/gallon for gas in Europe in 1962.

Come on gang. If you disagree don't be disagreeable. Be nice. You can make your point without being unpleasant.

A much better photo would be Bush/Chaney holding up a sign with what a health policy cost when they left office and what's his name holding up one today and that's all made in America.

had congress approved drilling in Alaska in the first years of the Bush administration, gas would not be this expensive now. Had barry approved the oil pipeline from Canada our gas prices would be dropping.

I like how her very conveniently left out his Lord Obama, who is planning on adding another ten cents per gallon so he can give more money to illegals, foreigners, unions, solar energy pals....

Actually, I think it was a liberal conspiracy to get gas guzzlers off the road. Once everybody was thoroughly shocked and off Hummers and onto Priuses, the job was done and prices came down. Makes as much sense as the OP.

They need to get out of their offices every once in awhile and see reality.
