   Americans in the Garden State sounded off on gas prices after President   
   Biden said the surging costs are part of "an incredible transition."   
      
   "I don’t believe a word he says," one woman, Theresa, told Fox News.   
   "He’s been in the business for 40-something years and hasn’t done too   
   much."   
      
   "Start drilling again. Do something," she continued. "We can't be the   
   only ones trying to save the world. If we're getting our oil from   
   somewhere let it be right here at home."   
      
   Cut!   
      
   "I’m out here walking around 'cause I can’t afford the gas," Wayne, who   
   walked to the gas station for groceries, said.   
      
   Cut!   
      
   Richard, who drives a small truck, said he pays around $40 in gas a day.   
      
   Gas prices have "almost doubled since Joe Biden got in office,"   
   Richard, of Jersey City, told Fox News. "It’s been horrible."   
      
   "How do you get back and forth?" he said.   
      
   Cut!   
      
   Theresa, a California resident visiting the Garden State, told Fox   
   News: "This should not be allowed whatsoever. It’s taking a lot of   
   money out of people’s pockets."   
      
   California had the highest state average at $6.07 on Tuesday, according   
   to AAA.   
      
   "People aren’t doing as many things," Theresa said. "It’s less money   
   that they can use on, you know, spending money on their kids, their   
   houses, their food."
