Lowest Holiday Gas Prices in Years: Trump’s Energy Agenda Delivers
The Trump administration’s energy agenda has led to the lowest Labor Day gas prices in half a decade, with GasBuddy projecting a national average of $3.15 per gallon. According to Energy Secretary Chris Wright, the administration’s focus on energy dominance has directly benefited consumers. Wright emphasized that Trump’s approach is simple: “more American energy means lower costs, more jobs, and more prosperity”.
A Cheaper Summer to Hit the Road
Analysts predict even lower prices ahead, with Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, estimating that the national gas price average could fall below $3 per gallon in September. De Haan noted that “Labor Day marks the unofficial end of summer, and when it comes to gas prices, it’s been the cheapest summer to hit the road since the pandemic”. This trend is likely to continue, with incomes up and gas prices down.
A Shift in Energy Policy
The Trump administration’s energy agenda prioritizes domestic oil and gas production, aiming to reduce reliance on foreign energy sources. Critics, however, warn that this approach may drive up emissions and harm the environment. Despite these concerns, the administration remains committed to its energy policy, citing the benefits of lower gas prices and increased energy independence.
