When the 1st Arab Oil Embargo began in October of 1973, gas sold for ~33 cents/gal. By the time it was over 10 months later in August of 1974, gas was selling for ~60 cents/gal. That is an increase of ~80%.

In October of 2020, gas sold for ~$2.15/gal. 10 months later, in August of 2021, 7 months into the Slow Joe & the 'Ho take over of the US government, gas was selling for ~$4.75 a gallon. That is more than a 100% increase. Slow Joe & the 'Ho are worse for America than was the 1st Arab Oil Embargo.
