Trump’s $2 Gasoline Boast: Fact or Political Fiction?

The national average for a gallon of regular gasoline continues to exceed $3, with no state recording prices below $2.60. President Trump’s assertion of $1.98 pricing in certain states appears misleading, likely referencing RBOB trading data, which doesn’t mirror consumer rates. Experts assert that gasoline prices hinge on crude oil market trends, driven by global supply-demand forces. As of May 5, the average price was $3.15, a slight increase since Trump's reentry into office.
