That is absurd! You think they can actually make more by selling less? You should stick to coding and leave finance to those who understand market economics.
President Brandon is a certifiable dipsh*t...

It’s hard to believe you’re too dense to understand those concepts and how they can co-exist.This is what he said:
When asked how long American drivers should expect to deal with high fuel prices, Biden told reporters "as long as it takes, so Russia cannot in fact defeat Ukraine and move beyond Ukraine." He continued, "this is a critical, critical position for the world."
Biden says high gas prices will continue 'as long as it takes' to defeat Russia's invasion of Ukraine
Gas prices have risen sharply due to ongoing turmoil in energy markets stemming from Putin's invasion of Ukraine.www.businessinsider.com
This is reality:
Russia's energy revenue higher now than just before Ukraine war, U.S. official says
Russia may be getting more revenue from its fossil fuels now than shortly before its invasion of Ukraine, as global price increases offset the impact of Western efforts to restrict its sales, U.S. energy security envoy Amos Hochstein told lawmakers during a hearing on Thursday.www.reuters.com
I'm not sure what your point is, but the fact is he is completely (and demonstrably) full of sh*t here.
Yes, the Ukraine invasion led to the boycott of Russian oil by most nations, which led to higher oil prices in the global oil market. You seem flummoxed by that, unfamiliar with the laws of supply and demand.
And yes, there are countries that still buy their oil from Russia, and the price of that oil is elevated due to the elevated global price of oil, leading to high profits for Russia. If you were a patriotic American you would blame those countries for continuing to buy Russian oil. Instead, you blame Biden. Because you are a disgracefully dishonest GOP hack.
The price of gas dropped 10 cents here. And then I add a 'reward' for filling up at the pump that drops the price another 10-20 cents.LOL!
Oil prices slip as recession fears rumble on, tight supply stems losses
Oil prices fell in early Asian trade on Monday, paring gains from the previous session as fears of global recession weighed on the market.www.cnbc.com
Is that Biden's fault too?

In the Orwellian Banana Republic of Trumplandia, only price increases are attributed to Biden. When prices drop, they just whistle and look away.

yet still nowhere close to what gas cost in 2020

LOL! You think that argument supports YOUR position here? Is it your position that we should nationalize the oil industry, there, comrade? If not, the oil industry management would be violating their fiduciary duty by lowering profits in the face of the (forced) end of their companies' runs.Two years ago the profit margin refining a barrel of oil was about $2. It is $18 today.
The profits follow years of heavy losses at many facilities after demand plunged during the pandemic. Unpredictable shifts in oil markets had created a challenging business climate before that. Even at this moment of windfall refinery earnings, when the profit margin on each barrel of oil processed has jumped from a dollar or two a year ago to as much as $18 today, investors are hardly jumping at the opportunity to enter the sector. They fear the profits are short lived. The administration’s environmental priorities - as well as rising public and corporate concern about climate change - would make many refineries obsolete in the not-too-distant future.

Oil refineries are making a windfall. Why do they keep closing?
Companies see only headaches on the horizon for refineries, undercutting the White House push to boost production.www.adn.com

That is irrelevant, actually. Yes, the war has pushed up the price of oil somewhat, after relentless upward movement literally since Brandon's first day in office. That's not the point of the thread though. Regardless of why the price of oil is at record highs, do you have an opinion on Brandon's idiocy in thinking somehow us paying $5 a gallon (plus) per gallon is RESTRICTING Putin's ability to "wreck" Ukraine? Because that is complete bullsh*t:
Russia's energy revenue higher now than just before Ukraine war, U.S. official says
Russia may be getting more revenue from its fossil fuels now than shortly before its invasion of Ukraine, as global price increases offset the impact of Western efforts to restrict its sales, U.S. energy security envoy Amos Hochstein told lawmakers during a hearing on Thursday.

Biden is SOLELY responsible for the Americans rise in gas prices. That part has been proven OVER AND OVER again. I'm starting to think that by now a Florida Kindergartener not only could understand that, but might even be qualified to teach high school classes in a blue state.

And if you think that, YOU AIN'T BLACK.
But at least poor kids can be as gifted as white kids.
And you can't go into a convenience store without an interpreter.
Oh, and your FCKING IDIOT of a president actually claimed that the Tuskeegee Airmen were experimented on.
You have ZERO room to point to Trump. You and a bunch of other criminals illegally elected that idiot, and we are ALL suffering.

Again, if you were a patriotic American you would criticize the countries that are still buying Russian oil. But you’re not so you blame Biden.That is irrelevant, actually.

Lemme guess - you think the sanctions against Russia should be lifted, right?

Yes, I know - the left isn't content subjugating all of us Americans but would prefer to control the acts of all the people of the world.
Not everyone is buying the neocon narrative that Russia had no reason to attack Ukraine in response to our decade of meddling in their affairs. The only winner in that (neocon) agenda is the MIC.
But regardless of right or wrong, do you have a comment on Brandon being so out of touch that he thinks high oil prices are hurting Putin's ability to wage the war in Ukraine? Of course not, you'd rather blather about the other countries' response when that nuance never occurred to President Brandon for an instant.
Still think Trump won? And you claim Biden is an idiot!

Gas prices overseas are ALWAYS more expensive because they are not being paid for by American dollars. The American dollar is the world's reserve currency. All oil is traded in American dollars. in 1997, gasoline in Amsterdam was around $8 a gallon. (My brother was there and he had to spend a fortune to fill up.
In 1997, the average American gas price was $1.45 at the highest.

Trump won. Biden and the people who voted for him are idiots.
Two things that will never change.
So you support Putin's invasion as motivated by the US?
