what do you mean they were "up"Nope, wrong, wrong again idiot.
Oil prices were up under Trump untill ECONOMY CAME TO A HALT AND PEOPLE STOPPED DRIVING SUDDENLY.
That caused oil stores to back up and oil price to drop to NEGATIVE on futures market. That in turn caused oil companies to sharply cut production.
As economy re-opened REVERSE started happening and prices started going up as demand went up.
Your claim that prices started going up Jan2021 is counter factual bullshit.

Gas was on average 2.60/gallon in 2019...drastically lower then the Obama years, and even down from the year before in 2018.
