Naw, one of the first things Trump did is put the OK on shale drilling. Before Biden closed it down, the USA was a net exporter of oil. Reduce the supply, prices go up. Suppliers see that the USA needed oil, and lo and behold, the price went up. Out here in Cali, hard to tell, as the gas tax is so high, never certain whether the 'temporary' taxes are over, or if the base price is being lowered. But have seen some of the off-brands selling for less than $4. Not by much, around $3.80.
