Despite a dip in global oil prices during the past week, Americans are paying more than twice as much for gasoline as they did just a few years ago.
President Bush says the price spike is the result of basic economic forces: global demand for oil that is growing faster than the supply.
Speaking from the Rose Garden, Mr. Bush said there is a clear solution.
"To reduce pressure on prices, we need to increase the supply of oil - especially here at home."
For weeks, the president has urged the Democrat-controlled Congress to rescind a ban on new off-shore drilling, which he says could provide as much as 10 years worth of oil at current U.S. consumption levels.
"The time for action is now. This is a difficult period for millions of American families. Every extra dollar they have to spend because of high gas prices is one less dollar they can use to put food on the table, pay the rent or meet their mortgages.
