I don't know much about politics, but I don't understand your statement ?
How did the "President" ( D.J. Trump ) have anything to do with gas prices in your area?
- The overriding factor that determines the price of oil from day to day is the market principle of supply and demand.
- no president, can do much of anything to affect the short-term price of oil, and therefore gasoline.
- Retail gasoline prices tend to be higher the farther it is sold from the source of supply: ports, refineries, and pipeline and blending terminals.
