FROM WASHINGTON EXAMINER: The national average price for regular gas fell to under $3 per gallon on Tuesday, with a cost of $2.998.
It is the first time regular gas has averaged under $3 per gallon since 2021, according to AAA. It is a price threshold that the Trump administration has touted for several months, as the national average gas price has hovered near this point since October. With Tuesday’s price of $2.998 per gallon, the national average cost for a gallon of regular gas is at its lowest point since May 2021, when it was $2.985, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
Gas prices had been trending toward under $3 per gallon since the end of last week, during the Thanksgiving holiday. On Wednesday, the day before the holiday, the national average price for a gallon of regular gasoline was $3.042; on Thanksgiving, fuel costs dropped to slightly over $3.02 per gallon. By Sunday, the national average price for a gallon of regular gas was $3.005, and on Monday, it settled at $3.001 per gallon.
Gas prices have decreased since 2022, particularly in the second half of 2024, remaining steady between $3.02 and $3.21.
Trump had promised cheaper gas prices and more affordability for Americans as a candidate.
CNN: "For the first time in 4.5 years, gas prices are averaging $3/gallon nationally."
