Labor Day is coming, and it would be a heckuva time for a road trip—because gas prices have plummeted to their lowest levels since before the COVID pandemic.
Earlier today, I wrote about the revised GDP numbers, which were better than “expected,” and now this:
LOWEST gas prices in years!⛽️ That’s the Trump Effect. 🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/Df5Dx1L825

The prices are the best we’ve seen in a long time:
This Labor Day, motorists will see the lowest gas prices in half a decade.
GasBuddy projects the national average at $3.15 a gallon — the cheapest holiday weekend at the pump since 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic brought global travel to a halt.
"Thanks to President Trump fully unleashing American energy dominance, gas prices this summer are at five-year lows and families are saving significant money at the pump," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News Digital.
"President Trump ended Joe Biden’s green new scam policies and is making America affordable again," Leavitt added.
In 2024, gas prices stood at $3.29 per gallon, and the year prior reached $3.77.
Anyone missing Joe Biden about now? Not me.
It would be remiss, however, to fail to point out that not all the news is good. California Gav. Newsom and his social media staffers have become a 24-hour Trump-hating, gaslighting propaganda outfit, blasting the president at every turn for being a fascist and for destroying the country. Let’s remind him of what life is like in his own state on this (and virtually every other) issue:
This was the price for a gallon of gas today in San Diego… we here in California pay the highest gas prices in the United States almost solely due to failed governor @GavinNewsom and his insane energy policies.

Lemme know what you’re paying. (And what state.) pic.twitter.com/slzJgnQgJs

With the highest gas prices in the nation, filling up your tank in the Golden State is an entirely different experience than it is virtually anywhere else in the country, except perhaps Hawaii. Reminder: they’re an island almost 2,400 miles off the U.S. coast.
But back to the good news:
Labor Day is BACK! 🇺🇸

Rather than kneecapping our energy resources, as Joe Biden and the Democrats desperately wanted to do, Trump wants to unleash our power, and we could be seeing these more favorable prices for years to come:
The revelation comes as the Trump administration pushes ahead on energy dominance — a key pillar of the president's economic and national security agenda.
With fuel prices heading into the holiday weekend at the lowest point in years, Energy Secretary Chris Wright argued that the administration’s energy agenda is directly benefiting consumers.
"President Trump campaigned on lowering costs and this Labor Day weekend, the American people will see the results firsthand at the gas pump — with the lowest gas prices in years," Wright told Fox News Digital.
"His approach is simple and commonsense: more American energy means lower costs, more jobs, and more prosperity," Wright added.
Have a great Labor Day weekend – and know that taking a trip won’t break the bank as it would have so recently.
