Donald Trump told voters in 2024 he would cut gasoline below $2 a gallon within 12 months of taking office.

The national average was $4.20 a gallon on Friday, nearly 40% above a year ago; diesel reached $6.32, up about 70%. Retail gas was $3.80 on 2022 midterm election day per AAA. De Haan said Trump “got in his own way” and that fuel spiked after he decided to attack Iran, after GasBuddy had predicted 2026 would be the cheapest year since 2020.
