Rating False About this rating Context The gas prices pictured in two different shared pictures did not reflect the national average price for regular unleaded gasoline on Jan. 6, 2021. We also found that a second picture of gas prices was used to promote a “Never forget January 6th” message, again in reference to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. The picture was captured at a Citgo gas station in January 2015, also when Obama was president and Biden was vice president. In early 2020, when Trump still occupied the White House, gas prices fell due to a dramatic decrease in demand for gasoline following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Note: As of June 2022, more than 800 people had been arrested for their alleged participation in the violent Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
