The White House Rapid Response team is hailing a new report by GasBuddy indicating the national average for a gallon of gas has now dipped below $3 per gallon.
Patrick De Haan, the head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, announced the plunging prices in a statement on the company website.
“Gas prices have finally fallen below $3 per gallon nationally — the earliest date we’ve seen a $2.99 national average since 2020, when COVID was the primary driver of low prices,” he stated.

De Haan also revealed that 35 states have average gas prices below $2.99/gal, with one station in Evans, Colorado even reporting a $1.99 cash price. Holy savings, Batman.
President Trump was so optimistic about the declining gas prices that he said he’d like to get the national average down to $2 per gallon. Or maybe even a tick below that.
“I think we’re going to be at two dollars and the previous administration they were at four and five dollars. They were going up much higher,” Trump told reporters.

“But we could be hitting close to $2/gallon. I’d love to break it if we could.”
Our wallets would love that as well.
De Haan poured a little cold water on that lofty expectation, but did predict on X that gas prices would continue to drop to the $2.80s. Which is substantially lower than some of the Biden peak years, when the national average was somewhere between the cost of one arm and one leg.

Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) celebrated the news.
“After years of failed Democrat leadership, Americans are finally seeing gas prices drop toward $3 a gallon,” she said. “(Trump’s) America First energy policies are delivering real, tangible results that families can feel.”
“The difference couldn’t be more clear: under Democrats, we got excuses. Under Trump, we get results.”
The king of promises made, promises kept.
