"Get the Facts About Gas Prices" resource
center reveals how much the US president actually controls gas
prices during an election year
DALLAS, July 11,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Gas prices are always a hot
topic, whether as part of a neighborly conversation or on the
global stage. As the campaign trail heats up ahead of the
presidential election in November, gas prices—and their role in
the United States economy—are
expected to be a focal point.
To encourage informed discourse, GasBuddy®, a PDI
Technologies company, has created a guide that addresses common
questions and misconceptions about what factors contribute to gas
prices. "Get the Facts About Gas Prices" is available on the
GasBuddy Blog and includes information on the role of the US
president, local price disparities, seasonal price increases, and
more.
"Due to many complex factors—the Ukraine, energy prices, and the pandemic,
among others—consumers have seen higher volatility at the pump in
recent years," said Patrick De Haan,
Head of Petroleum Analysis at GasBuddy. "Our goal with this guide
is to provide clear, accurate information to help educate the
public about what factors influence gas prices at any given time,
whether it is an election year or not."
"GasBuddy unlocks a world of savings and insider information for
our community," said Bethany Allee,
Chief Marketing Officer at PDI Technologies, which acquired
GasBuddy in 2021. "By breaking down gas prices, we're helping savvy
consumers stay one step ahead and make smarter decisions every time
they hit the road or stop at a c-store. It's this kind of
opportunity that transforms GasBuddy from a simple app into a
lifestyle tool for everyday use. Additional interest and support
also benefits the gas stations and convenience stores that are the
backbone of our communities and the US economy."
"Get the Facts About Gas Prices" is available on the GasBuddy
Blog. For more information and to access 2024 gas prices and
real-time fuel price data, download the GasBuddy app at
