In a throw back to the day before President Joe Biden took office, Cox Chevron in Forest sold gasoline for $2.38 a gallon for a few hours last week.
Americans for Prosperity sponsored the event to “help out the community” by offering gas at the average gas price from two years ago.

“We are rolling back prices at the pump here in the community, giving everybody a little break today to $2.38 a gallon which was the national average back in January of 2021, and so we are giving that break in the community. But we are also talking to people about what’s causing inflation,” Mississippi State Director for AFP, Starla Brown was quoted by WTOK television.
“Want real people to really see the difference how great it was just two years ago and how good gas prices were, not only gas prices, but everything else. I got notices today that my candy bars, Hershey and Mars, both went up. They went up 15 percent across the board on their candy bars, so the cost of inflation is really hurting everybody no matter what you do,” said Cox Chevron owner, Vance Cox told WTOK.
“We are doing it across the nation. We’ve been in Pennsylvania. We’ve done one in Georgia. We’ll be in Colorado next month. They’ve done one in Kansas, everywhere across the nation. Anywhere we can go, we’re going to be there,” said Elizabeth Chatham, the grassroots trainer and curriculum specialist for AFP.
