Watch: Gas prices fall below $3 per gallon for first time since May of 2021; Trump wants $2  

Gas prices dropped below $3 per gallon for the first time since May of 2021, but President Donald Trump said Tuesday he’d “love to” see $2 per gallon “at some point.”

Gas prices were $2.38 when Trump left office in January of 2021, but quickly increased under Joe Biden, who presided over 40-year-high inflation and whose energy policies discouraged fossil fuel production.

Since taking office this January, Trump has set about undoing many of his predecessors’ edicts to boost production and lower prices for consumers, Energy Secretary Chris Wright told Fox Business in an interview.

GasBuddy set the national average at $2.95 per gallon, with the American Automobile Association, or AAA, pegging it at $2.99. States including Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas averaged $2.40 to 2.67, Fox reported, while Pennsylvania and Western states including California, Washington and Arizona were higher at $3.20 to $4.54.
