"Joe Biden Owes Me Gas Money" Bumper Stickers, 2024

01

Artifact Overview

The average price of gasoline nationwide topped $5 a gallon in the spring of 2022 during the Biden administration. This surge added to the post-COVID inflation already affecting Americans. Some consumers expressed their displeasure by stating, "Joe Biden owes me gas money" -- a phrase that resurfaced during the 2024 Presidential campaign, well after gas prices had returned to normal.
