Presidents have very little to do with gas pricing. Global market and issues such as the Texas freeze, hurricanes, flooding, terrorism cause huge spikes. Summer always increases gas prices due to demand. It doesn't matter how much USA produces as it will be sold at Global Market price. We get no discounts where ever the oil comes from. A president can ask countries like Saudi Arabia to increase production to help lower pricing but it is not some magical fix or huge reduction in price. Oil, tobacco and alcohol can name their price.
