The average U.S. price for a gallon of regular gasoline has more than doubled since President Joe Biden took over, based on data released this weekend.

When Biden took office on Jan. 20, 2021, the average price for a gallon of regular-grade gasoline stood at $2.39. But as of June 5, the price increased to about $4.85 per gallon, according to AAA.
