“Gasoline is lower than it was with Biden”
FALSE
What the record shows
Biden-era average: $3.46/gal (2021-2025); Trump II average: $3.42/gal (Jan 2025-Sep 2026). Current price Oct 1, 2026: $3.31/gal. Prices surged above $4/gal in spring 2026 due to Iran conflict.
Term averages are nearly identical. Trump II prices have risen to match Biden-era highs due to geopolitical shocks, contradicting the claim.
