> The Facts About Record High Gas Prices

Biden's price is only the 10th highest in recent US history. The top nine are split between five for GWB and four for Obama. Trump's high is the current one, but only ranks as the 91st highest of all time.

Of course, real gas prices were highest in the 1890s but not many people needed it.

I remember temporary price wars between gas stations. I think $0.23/gallon was the cheapest discount price that I saw.

Good call out. I updated my OP to indicate that this data is "recent" US history not all of US history.
