the 13 year ago spike was very brief - the 7 years ago was also repeated several times all during the last D POTUS who had anti oil policies.
both instances were historic outliers - it's like saying the 2008 market crash wasn't bad because was worse in the late 20's/early 30's.
more practically if you are pretending people aren't really feeling the increase in gas prices because these numbers have been hit sometime in history then you are exactly the type of person I'd like advising D leadership about the issues.
don't believe your lying eyes - it's just an R lie.
