Administration cites national fuel data showing declining gasoline prices across much of the U.S.
The White House said average gasoline prices have dropped below $3 per gallon in 38 U.S. states, pointing to recent nationwide fuel price trends.
The White House said that average gasoline prices are now below $3 per gallon in 38 U.S. states, according to data cited by the administration. The statement was shared in a public post highlighting recent declines in fuel costs.
According to the White House, the number of states with sub-$3 average gas prices has increased over the past two weeks, reflecting broader downward trends in national fuel markets. The administration did not specify a single data provider but referenced average regular gasoline prices.
Independent fuel trackers, such as GasBuddy and AAA, routinely report regional and state-level gas price averages, which can vary significantly by location, taxes, and fuel formulations. Prices can also fluctuate daily based on supply and demand.
Energy analysts note that gas prices are influenced by multiple factors, including crude oil prices, seasonal demand, refinery output, and global market conditions. Short-term declines do not necessarily signal long-term price stability.
The White House has emphasized fuel price trends as part of its broader economic messaging, while critics argue that gasoline prices remain elevated in some regions, particularly on the West Coast and in major metropolitan areas.
Officials said fuel price data will continue to be monitored as market conditions evolve. The figures cited by the administration have not been independently audited in this announcement.
