What does Barack Obama think about oil and gas prices?

I am sure he would like them to be lower. He has also said he would like the United States to be more energy independent as well as using more energy from wind and solar power. Unfortunately, while it is common to blame presidents for the high price of gas, whether under President Bush or President Obama, gas and oil prices often fluctuate, due to production overseas as well as economic conditions in world markets, high demand, oil-producing nations setting prices higher during periods of peak demand, etc.

What was the Canadian gas price in 1970?

In 1970, the average price of gasoline in Canada was around 30 cents per liter. This was a time when fuel prices were significantly lower than today, largely due to different economic conditions and lower global oil prices. The oil crisis of the 1970s, however, would soon lead to dramatic increases in gas prices in the following years.


When Obama was president elect did the prices for gas go up or down?

In June-July 2008, under President Bush, gas prices reached a high of $4.11 a gallon. By the time Barack Obama was elected in November, the prices had already begun to decline, such that a gallon of gas was $1.84 not long after Mr. Obama's inauguration. But this did not last. The cost of gas soon went up, and remained high for a while. However, as often happens, prices then began to decrease: depending on world supply and demand, they continued to fluctuate throughout the next several years. The same situation occurred under both Presidents Bush and Clinton, with prices trending drastically up, then coming down gradually.
