Chris Wright says ‘I don’t know’ when asked about lower cost of gas as average price soars to $4 a gallon in US
Chris Wright, the Trump administration’s energy secretary, acknowledged Sunday that it might not be until 2027 before US gas prices come back under $3 a gallon.
Asked by Jake Tapper, the CNN State of the Union host, when he thought “it’s realistic for Americans to expect the gas will go back to under $3 a gallon”, Wright replied: “I don’t know. That could happen later this year. That might not happen until next year.”
A really rough way for Americans to understand these prices is to take the liters/$ price and multiply it by 4. So my friend in Greece who pays 2,22 a liter is actually paying close to $8 a gallon.
More accurate would be 3.73 or about, but 4 is good enough.
