Yes, it actually does. That's how math works.
Example: Fred bought Apple stock at it's highest price every month for ten years. Bill bought it at the lowest price. Then they both sold. Bill obviously lost money on his bet, right?
Wrong. They both made money because the price climbed all those years.
You like to claim you paid $1.86/gal for gas under Trump. You do to to "prove" that prices were so much better under Trump. You want the price to
"look like less of an impact", so you use the lowest one you can. A price that was crushed during lockdown from pandemic.
You may have gotten that low price once or twice for a fill -up, but unless you only bought gas on that day and not the rest of the year, the reality is you paid more than $1.86 a gallon.
This is the average for the country. When the average goes up or down, the price is going up or down everywhere. Welcome to math.
