Will gas prices ease with Biden’s release from strategic reserve? Experts say it’s not enough
- Biden tries to blunt record gas prices with release of oil reserves.
- One expert said White House should have released more reserves into the U.S. economy.
- A major petroleum trade group said the move is “short term” fix.
President Joe Biden’s move to release up to 180 million barrels of oil from the nation’s emergency reserve is a step in the right direction to help lower record-high gas prices, petroleum experts said Thursday, but it’s likely not enough for consumers to see relief at the pump.
