Gas prices reach record high for an Election Day
GasBuddy said the national average topped $4.15, as Iran-related supply disruptions and higher refinery margins kept fuel costs elevated.
- Americans heading to the polls today face record-high gas prices, with GasBuddy reporting the national average at $4.12 per gallon and $6.28 for diesel on Election Day.
- For the past two years, Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress dismantled EV incentives and rolled back fuel economy standards, framing the effort against an "EV mandate."
- The $7,500 federal clean vehicle tax credit has lapsed, while the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, maintained by the Department of Energy, fell to 282.2 million barrels—the lowest level in 44 years.
- Automakers like Ford and General Motors are backing Trump's push to ease fuel-economy rules, with electric cars now competing without federal subsidies as the government blocks cheap Chinese models.
- Even if Democrats win back Congress, Biden-era EV tax credits are unlikely to return. Voters confronting $4 gas prices face energy costs insulated from Middle East conflicts through domestic electricity.
