Conditional on gas prices being "high" on October 2024, will a democrat win the U.S. 2024 presidential election?

I will consider the Gas price to be gasoline component of the CPI, seasonally adjusted

If the price is up more than 20% YoY, or 30% in the last 6 months, or 40% in the last 3 months, I will consider the Gas price to be high.

I will resolve to the political affiliation of whoever ABC News calls to have won the 2024 presidential election.

I may bet on this market.

Whether gas prices are high or not, the single biggest factor in the 2024 election will be whether Trump splits the republican vote by running as an independent - If he does, the democrats will very likely prevail, whereas if not it's less certain but I'd bet on the GOP, since incumbents do badly when discontent is high. I have no idea whether this split will happen.
