Fill ‘Er Up
Does the president know how much Americans are paying for a gallon of gas these days? Sort of.
“About $2.60-plus,” he said today at a Rose Garden news conference.
Correct! If the plus is about a dime.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration reports a national average of $2.707 a gallon for regular for the week that ended yesterday. That’s up from $2.610 for the previous week.
What’s up with the price hike, Mr. President?
“The price of crude oil is on the rise because people get spooked, for example, when it looks like there may be a crisis with a crude-oil producing nation, like Iran,” Bush said.
