The price of gasoline in the United States during Thanksgiving was at least $1.20 per gallon more than last year during the 2020 Thanksgiving holiday.
According to the American Automobile Association, the national average on Thanksgiving was $3.39 per gallon, compared to $2.11 last year on Thanksgiving. November’s increase in price is a continuation of a trend that has increased during President Joe Biden’s presidency.
Critics of Biden note that the price of gasoline has jumped, along with the White House canceling of the Keystone XL pipeline.
“The Keystone XL pipeline was expected to carry 830,000 barrels per day of Alberta oil sands crude to Nebraska, but the project was delayed for the past 12 years due to opposition from U.S. landowners, Native American tribes and environmentalists,” Reuters reported.
Biden is also considering closing down the 78-year-old Line 5 pipeline in Michigan, following requests by Native American Indians.
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has demanded the line be shut down by spring 2021.
Biden has blamed high gas prices on price-gouging oil companies, requesting that an investigation be held into America’s oil companies for “anti-competitive behavior.”
“The Federal Trade Commission has authority to consider whether illegal conduct is costing families at the pump,” Biden wrote.
To temporarily reduce the price of American gasoline, Biden has released oil from the United States’ oil reserves.
The oil reserves were refilled by former President Trump in 2020. Then-candidate, and now Vice President, Kamala Harris called purchasing oil for the reserves a bail out oil for companies.

“Biden has blamed high gas prices on price-gouging oil companies, requesting that an investigation be held into America’s oil companies for “anti-competitive behavior.””,,,,all the while himself competing with the oil companies for control of American energy. Like a true Socialist policeman, he handcuffs the American producers and frees up the Russian and Iranian Criminal money laundering kickback, quid quo pro’s of Biden’s well known crime family to make it impossible for American companies to be competitive in America, who in the middle east, if you bribe, launder money and payoff people it is accepted business practice but in America you go to jail and get fined. The way Biden and the Democrats have been behaving, they believe it is totally acceptable and non-prosecutable when applied to the American political arena, but will change it also to the energy arena when they get a crisis worthy of never letting a personal profit opportunity go to waste. Shutting American pipelines, limiting American production to redistribute oil production and profits to overseas kickback companies is just the beginning. Let the REAL investrigations begin.
For a good 20 years now, i’ve noticed PRICE ALWAYS GOES UP just prior and during holidays, then SLOWLY GOES BACK DOWN afterwards…
And the fact, this ALWAYS HAPPENS, at ALL GAS Stations, shows they conspire to FIX the prices…
Thankful I don’t use much gas these days. I was a high mileage driver for years but not anymore.
