The average price of a regular gallon of gas at U.S. pumps was $1.85 when Bush was sworn in for his second term in January 2005 and $1.84 when Obama took office in January 2009 on the promise of change, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
Adjusting for inflation, prices rose to $2.52 (Bush) and $2.53 (Obama) seven months into their terms, $2.76 and $2.71, respectively, nearly two years in and $3.27 each three years in. This month, gas is $3.85, more than a dime cheaper than at this point during Bush's second term when adjusted for inflation.
The average, through 45 months in office? Obama: $3.04; Bush's second term: $2.98.

Speaking from my wallet, since dipshit took office, there is a lot less in my wallet.

Dipshit and inflation go hand in hand

Yep, the inflation of your 401k's worth and the worth of your stocks.
Unbelievable as it may be.

You've gotta admit that it is a great way to cut costs if you can't break the entitlement union.
All of that extra money that's left over at the end of the year that "has to be spent", just went back into the US coffers instead of being spent frivolously.

It's good that prices are down, since no one has any money.

A lot of people are still recovering from their over extension during the Greenspan years. Whose fault is that? Their own.

If that's your logic, I should be making $350k per year.

The article is over a year old. Recalculate for additional devalued dollar.
