Americans Are Saving Big at the Pump — CNN Confirms It

This year, holiday travel is smashing records — but, so are gas prices.

Under the Trump administration, gas prices are now at their lowest in years, since April of 2021.

The average national price is just $2.86 per gallon, with many states seeing even lower numbers.

Right now, the state of Oklahoma has the cheapest gas prices at an average of $2.29 per gallon.

It’s predicated that gas prices will go down even more before Christmas Day.

CNN’s Matt Egan broke it all down in this clip:

Backup here, if needed:

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Democrats are panicked after CNN was forced to report that Americans are saving half a BILLION DOLLARS on gas under President Trump

"It's the lowest level since April of 2021!"

"There's 10 states where the average is below $2.50!"

What CNN neglected to mention is that the national average is skewed by primarily Democrat-run states.

The majority of states with gas prices still over $3 are blue.

Without these states in the picture, the average price per gallon would be even cheaper.

The Washington Examiner noted:

The national average for gas prices fell to $2.881 per gallon on Friday, marking another week of decreases at the pumps.

Friday’s prices mark a five-cent decrease from a week ago, when the national average price for a gallon of regular gas was $2.93, and a month ago, when it was $3.09, according to AAA. Fuel costs are also lower than a year ago, during the waning days of the Biden administration, when a gallon of regular gas was $3.045. Also of importance is the fact that there are now 40 states in the U.S. with average gas prices under $3 per gallon. Of the 11 remaining areas with gas prices over $3 per gallon, which includes Washington, D.C., eight are states with Democratic governors.

But, don’t just take it from the experts.

So much for the “affordability crisis” that Democrats are trying to manufacture.

What a win.
