Gas prices now higher under Trump than Biden-era average, analysis finds
AAA data show Trump’s average gasoline price is less than a cent above Biden’s as supply strains keep U.S. pump prices elevated.
- According to AAA data released Monday, President Donald Trump has overseen a higher average gasoline price than former President Joe Biden, with the national average at $4.286 a gallon, the highest ever recorded this late in a year.
- Prices surged after America and Iran entered a war, reducing crude movement and leaving global refiners with less capacity. Worldwide supply is short roughly 400,000 barrels a day of gasoline that Middle Eastern producers typically ship abroad.
- Gas prices broke a record by remaining above $4 a gallon for 158 consecutive days earlier this month, according to GasBuddy. Disapproval of Trump's handling of gas prices has reached 73 percent among voters.
- The Energy Department has set aside $150 million to invest in refineries to boost fuel output. The White House is drawing down the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and suspending the Jones Act to help lower costs.
- Trump claims prices will drop once the war with Iran ends, though the conflict shows no sign of easing. Cost-of-living concerns drive midterm politics, with the Cook Political Report rating several key Senate races as toss-ups.
