Gas prices are on the rise throughout the country, and it’s only fitting that this is occurring during the last week of President Joe Biden‘s term. High gas prices started to plague the country less than six months after Biden was sworn in and were a staple of his presidency. Americans have been paying the price, literally and figuratively, since his first year. As such, when he leaves office on Jan. 20, Biden will have set multiple records regarding the cost of gas, none of them good.

First, Biden has the dubious distinction of being president when regular gas reached the highest national average price on record in June 2022, when it was $4.929 per gallon. Second, between January 2021 and December 2024, the average cost for a gallon of regular gas in the country was $3.45 (according to the U.S. Energy Information Association), the most expensive price during a presidential term in U.S. history.
