NBC News’ Mike Memoli breaks down when Americans might see some relief at the pump and whether negotiations between oil industry executives and White House officials could further lower gas prices.

.18 cents does NOTHING!
I'm paying $6.50 per gallon. For a full 13 gallon tank I pay $84.50. At a generous .19 cent reduction my full tank would go down to… $82.03! Ha, ha, ha! 😂😂😂
This is ALL FOR SHOW. This helps NO-ONE! 👎
The tax money goes to fixing our infrastructure. Leave this alone. The government will need to come up with the money from what they have lost. Biden has no clue what he's doing. Even his own party doesn't support this idea.
Don't count on saving much. The oil companies will raise the prices so you won't see any savings. This is just a band-aid on the bigger problem and IF this gets implemented, the tax will be higher to make up for the loss.
Why must we suffer? The hard working Americans continue to get the short end of the deal. The American dream is a joke, this country only support fraudsters. So disgusting to say the least.
More Biden bull
Its not gonna work at all …my understanding is that would b like 18cents
“We’re arguing over a gimmick that would save you half a tank of gas over the course of the entire summer so that everyone in Washington can pat themselves on the back and say they did something,”.
—Barack Hussein Obama 2008
⛽⬆️ "I did that!" ~🥔
“Gas tax is a gimmick” during an election year. Hillary Clinton and John McCain agreed this was a good idea. The only people who benefit from this are the Oil Companies.
~Senator Barrack Obama 2008
So he wants to cut the gas tax, Huh. So where’s the money going to come from to pay for our highways ? More debt ? That’s the Democratic answer to everything isn’t it ! They can’t run the country without piling on trillions and trillions of debt.
Wow! A whole 18.4 cents-a-gallon federal tax on gas and 24.4 cents-a-gallon on diesel fuel “SAVINGS”.
“At this point what difference does it make?”
Much like the Jan 6th " hearings", this is just another distraction away from Brandon's failures. Weak, lame , just like Joe.
ITS SO EMBARRASSING THAT A COUNTRY LIKE EL SALVADOR ES ASISTING THE POPULATION IN REDUCING THE GAS PRICE FOR OVER 5 MONTHS SO FAR AND THEY DONT EVEN PRODUCE GAS, THE GOVERMENT IS TAKUNG THE HIT TO ALIVIATE THE HIGH COST OF GAS.THE USA IS OIL PRODUCER AND THEY CAN NOT EVEN DO THAT FOR THEIR OWN PEOPLE.HA, BUT YEA, SUPPORTING THE WAR IS A MUST///DESA PPOINTING ATTITUDE.
The answer is very simple reopen the pipeline the Democrats closed due to caving in to extremist environmentalist
Good luck with passing anything through Congress cuz it's sure going to fail with a capital F
Total joke to deflect on what he and the Dems caused. The highest est savings (for a pickup truck) is $35 all other estimates are lower. He is trying to buy votes in Nov for $35 and will extend it in the fall for extra measure. Just like with student debt payments (which actually increase the person's debt). Also as it just more unwarranted spending it will add to inflation. Wake up speak up and take action in Nov America, your country and freedom depend on it. Let's hope and pray for everyone to see the light and do the right things for everyone not just themselves. My opinion
Joke what a joke
Or we could seize energy companies and nationalize them.
6/21 Gas prices (per gallon and in $)
France 8.27
Germany 7.60
Poland 6.73
Russia 3.41
United Kingdom 8.38
USA 5.19
Socialist Venezuela 0.08
Anti American Iran 0.20
I don't wanna hear excuses
Hike the process so a small lowering might look like something…ahhh that doesn't work for real people paying real high prices for gas… Keep your gas tax! I didn't agree with Obama on a whole lot but I totally agree with his take on the gas tax… Keep your gas tax unless you are giving us back the nearly 2 dollars it's gone up… And stop with the blame game we are not idiots
Wow 4 bucks a week cheaper
Thanks Biden
How incredibly deaf and unaware of how it is to live on a budget these
MSNBC reporters are……
We are dying and he is going on a freaking bike ride and thinking about a 4 dollar savings a week????
Only Trump can LOWER Gas Prices & Inflation "Quickly" & help those who have been devastated by Biden Record Gas Hikes & Democrat created Inflation. Save America Movement 2022/24 GOP help is on the way
Why Gas Got So Expensive (It’s Not the War, the Libs, or Big, Bad, Biden)… https://youtu.be/AQbmpecxS2w
Jesus Christ saves from sin.
Romans 3: 23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Hebrews 9: 27
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Isaiah 64: 6
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
Revelation 21: 8
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Romans 5: 8
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
John 3: 16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 14: 6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Romans 10: 9-10.
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Jesus said John 5: 24
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
1John 5: 10-13
He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God..
Ephesians 2: 8-9
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Romans 8: 1
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
1 Corinthians 15: 3-4
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
2 Corinthians 5: 21
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him…………….
It went down by .16 cents… still paid $5.01…#Texas
If they can find people willing to pay off student loans more power to them. Nobody has the right to forgive debt on loans they didn't fund. They are buying friends with our money. Good way to make enemies.
$6.50/gal in So Cal. 18-cents is nothing. They could triple the gas tax and it would get little attention.
high gas prices are a supply/demand problem. Lowering the price will increase demand and the oil companies make even more $. Increase the tax to screw the oil companies. And give back the money collected to the taxpayers.
Paid over $5 today . I’ll take $2 a gallon please . Bring Trump back !
The whole gas industry is corrupt itself with it's illegal price fixing. Biden needs to open our own pipeline back up.
It isn't going to do anything.
20 gallons will give me $3.60 back, keep it and fix the potholes!
With the backwardness of our economy, increment in the price of gas, alarming rates of unemployment. I must confess our country have taken a wrong turn. Vividly I don't know how else to carter for my expenses.
What a waste of time and resources to save people maybe 20 bucks a month.
First thing we need to get dems out of office and put someone who doesn't work for the elites we need a nationalist. biden will never solve this gas issue because he always said he was going to destroy the oil and gas industry so we can make a transition to clean energy when we are far from that plus clean energies are not cheaper nor reliable
Snake oil Rockefeller ExxonMobil is the main head of the snake.
Time for extermination.
His kinfolks are still robbing people blind.
All he should be considering at this point is his shameful legacy.
I say "considering," when really, the man plain and simply needs to repent.
Anyone else notice that nearly every state in red is a BLUE state?
Gas has only gone up $4 for regular gas here in NC.
Blame whoever cause this and it’s not that person you thinking about it’s not
Don't buy gas until you really need it, then only get a few gallons, prices are coming down and this action will accelerate the process!
Ban all guns.
At the same time this would increase the inflation we are experiencing. The money has to come from somewhere unless Biden plans to bankrupt the country. The media should be calling this out. They are educated and should understand basic economics.
I love President Joe Biden.
Who could have predicted these astronomical gas prices, half-century record inflation, empty shelves, US taxpayer funding and entanglements in foreign wars again, collapsed border, etc
*other than near 80 million of your more successful and knowledgeable friends and family members who tried to warn you, right? *
Biden is going to find a way to make is worse than it is! He’s going to screw the people by another lie followed by another $2.00 increase in gas prices per gallon!
