The price of gasoline impacts everything in the supply chain. It killed inflation year one in office. It is still impacting food prices and prices at the pump for every American.
Policy does and can have a positive impact on the economy. People can hate Trump, but he had the country on the verge of energy independence. Contrast Biden who was forced to import dirty oil from other countries and dipped into reserves.
I hate to break it to you, but the idea that those policies did much to the price of gas is far from the truth. The price of gas was primarily due to global supply shortages which is why the gas prices were high all over the world. Biden approved a ton of new drilling permits during his first year, outpacing Trump by a long shot. As for "energy independence," we currently produce more energy than we consume. We have never been oil independent, though, and we weren't close to it under Trump, either.
You've fallen victim to partisan propaganda that is aimed at getting misinformed voters who aren't willing to look at the actual data to just parrot their talking points and pull the lever for their person.
Of course, all of this has been said in reply to you multiple times in this forum so I am not sure why typing it out again would produce any different results.
