for a couple of obvious issues in the video. He doesn’t select a grade. He doesn’t pay for the gas. You can hear the sound of the pump beeping as he pretends to pump, but he doesn’t actually squeeze the handle at all. Those aren’t the substantive issues, though.
The price of gasoline surged as the world started recovering from the Covid pandemic, commencing in mid-2020. This occurred because a substantial amount of oil production had been shut down in 2020 due to crashing oil prices, but then the demand began to rebound faster than supply could respond. In fact, in 2021 a friend from Uganda told me that gasoline prices had risen by 50% there. I asked him who the people blame. “Our President.” So, it’s probably common in every country to blame political leaders for high gasoline prices, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they are the actual cause.
