Remember when Joe Biden told you high gas prices were the "new normal"? Remember when his administration smugly suggested you just buy an electric vehicle if you didn't like paying $5 a gallon? Well, Patriots, those days are officially in the rearview mirror.
Gas prices have now fallen for the seventh consecutive week, with the national average dropping to approximately $2.74 per gallon — the lowest prices Americans have seen since 2020. That's 27 cents cheaper than just one year ago, and the trend line is pointing in one direction: down.
The Numbers Don't Lie
Let's break down what this means for hardworking American families. According to AAA data, average gas prices have dipped below $3 per gallon in 43 states. In 30 states, drivers are paying less than $2.75. And here's the kicker — in 17 states, the average has dropped below $2.50 per gallon.
But wait, it gets even better. Americans can now find gas below $2 per gallon at stations in at least 19 states. When was the last time you saw that during the Biden regime?
That's right — never. Because under Biden, gas was over $3 a gallon for all four years of his disastrous presidency. The highest national average on record? That was June 2022, when Americans were shelling out a staggering $4.92 per gallon while Biden's Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm laughed at questions about increasing domestic production.
Real Savings for Real Americans
This isn't just about numbers on a gas station sign. This is about real money staying in the pockets of working families. Analysts now project that Americans are on pace to spend the lowest percentage of their disposable income on gas in the last two decades under the Trump administration.
Even CNN — yes, that CNN — is reporting that Americans are expected to spend $11 billion less on gas in 2026 than they did in 2025. That translates to over $600 in savings per household. For families still recovering from four years of Bidenomics, that's real relief.
Compare that to the cumulative damage of the Biden years: energy costs under his administration totaled more than $5,200 per American household. High gas prices weren't a bug of the Biden presidency — they were a feature of his war on American energy.
The Trump Difference
Since Day One of his second term, President Trump has made taming Biden's inflation crisis a top priority. The "Drill, Baby, Drill" agenda isn't just a campaign slogan — it's a promise being kept. While Democrats pushed Green New Deal fantasies and killed pipeline projects, this administration understands that energy dominance means economic prosperity for all Americans.
The legacy media won't give Trump credit, but the numbers speak for themselves. While Biden depleted our Strategic Petroleum Reserve for temporary political cover, Trump is unleashing American energy production and letting the free market work.
Never Forget Who Caused This Mess
As prices continue to fall, let's not develop amnesia about who created this crisis in the first place. Democrats declared war on fossil fuels, canceled pipelines, restricted drilling on federal lands, and lectured Americans about their carbon footprints while jet-setting to climate conferences.
They should never be trusted to manage our energy policy again.
The next time someone from the mainstream media tries to tell you the president's policies don't affect gas prices, show them these numbers. Show them the difference between Biden's $5 gas and Trump's $2 gas. Then ask them a simple question: Are you better off now than you were under the Biden regime?
For millions of Americans filling up their tanks this week, the answer is obvious.
