President Donald Trump recently claimed that gas prices are lower now than during the Biden administration. However, according to AAA, the current national average gas price of $4.16 per gallon is higher than it was during 91% of Biden’s term.

Gas Price Comparison

The current national average is significantly higher than the national average when Biden left office in January 2025, which was $3.12 per gallon. It’s also higher than the national average was on 1,334 of Biden’s 1,460 full days as president.

Trump has tried to deflect concerns about current gas prices by sharing a story about gas prices he claims he saw when he visited Iowa early this year. However, the Iowa average for regular gas that day was $2.57 per gallon, according to AAA, and not $1.85 as Trump claimed.
