The average US gas price is higher today than during 91% of Biden’s presidency: AAA
AAA said the national average is below the June 2022 peak but above every day of Biden’s final 29 months in office.
- According to AAA, the national average gas price is $4.16 per gallon, higher than it was during 91 percent of President Joe Biden's term as president.
- President Donald Trump claimed prices are 'not very high' on Tuesday, while asserting that gasoline will 'drop like a rock' once the Iran war is settled.
- Trump frequently cites a late-January Iowa trip where he claimed gas was $1.85 per gallon, but AAA data shows the Iowa average that day was $2.57, with only E85 niche blend selling at $1.85.
- Current prices are lower than the $4.29 recorded one week ago and $4.53 a month ago, though they remain higher than the $3.12 average from one year ago.
- The current national average is higher than the $2.98 recorded when Trump launched the Iran war in late February, signaling that Americans face sustained elevated fuel costs despite Trump's repeated promises of price relief.
