Cool tool, thank you.

So the story of gas in America (averagely) is that it started to climb a little from low $2.00 in December of 2020. It hits $3 around March, then staggers from 3 to about $3.20 throughout 2020. Come January 2021, it rises troublingly to around $3.60 by February, and has been a nightmare cliff wall up ever since.

From this, I feel comfortable saying OP's story is basically junk. His narrative is that gas was 3+ during some significant portion of the Trump Presidency (untrue), and that corona lowered gas prices (REMARKABLY untrue).

Nah, this is all what it looks like on its face. As Democrats asserted themselves (as they did from March 2020), and then accelerating with their dominance, gas prices can be safely said to be firmly correlated with those motherfuckers.
