GasBuddy, a company that tracks fuel costs
across the country, is refuting President
Trump’s claims in a Friday morning social
media post touting record low prices at
the pump.
“Gasoline just broke $1.98 a Gallon, lowest
in years, groceries (and eggs!) down, energy
down, mortgage rates down, employment strong,
and much more good news, as Billions of
Dollars pour in from Tariffs,” the president
wrote on his Truth Social platform.
However, GasBuddy said it could not locate
any fuel stations with those prices.
“We don’t have any data showing any
individual stations below $2 a gallon today
nor have we really seen any of that in the
last several weeks since these claims have
started,” Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum
analysis at GasBuddy, said in a statement to
NewsNation.
The lowest price in the nation as of Friday
was in Mississippi at $2.63 per gallon,
according to the company’s data tracker. The
national average is $3.18 as of Friday,
according to AAA, with no prices listed at
less than $2.61.
