Which President had the most days with oil closing above $100 a barrel?
Using the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s daily closing spot price data, the Obama years stand out for having oil above $100 a barrel far more often than other modern presidencies.
That matters because high oil prices do not stop at the gas pump. They work their way into the cost of groceries, home heating, farm supplies, freight, travel, and nearly everything delivered by truck.
Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)…WTI, Cushing, Oklahoma; Brent: Europe (North Sea). Daily spot prices, closing value. Days counted when the price was strictly greater than $100 per barrel. Data through September 15, 2026.
