White House Announces Oil Reserve Release To Lower Gas Prices

Gas prices and inflation are top of mind for many Americans. We’re seeing that in multiple polls, especially as we head closer to midterm elections just weeks away.

The White House has confirmed that the Department of Energy has issued a Notice of Sale for 15 million barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to be delivered in December.

The goal is to help lower high gas prices. President Biden is also asking companies to pass along lower energy costs to consumers right away. 

Last week, AURN News issues a report about the tension now brewing between President Biden and Saudi Arabia. The Biden administration requested that the Saudi’s planned cuts to oil production be delayed until after the midterm elections. Now, attention and eyes will now be on the pumps to see how far and when gas prices will go down.
