For four brutal years, American families got hammered every time they opened up their wallets. Grandma choosing between heart meds and hamburgers became the new normal. Working people watched their costs double while their paychecks stayed flat (so much for nights out, huh?).
The economic beating seemed endless, with Washington telling us high costs were just the “new normal” we had to accept. They never seem to suffer, though, do they? But here’s what happens when you put someone in charge who actually understands business—and doesn’t apologize for American success.
From ‘The Post Millennial’:
The average gas price around the country fell below $3 a gallon, with the lowest intra-day price since May 2021, according to Gas Buddy. The Trump White House touted the accomplishment. There were a total of 35 states that had an average gas price below $2.99 a gallon on Monday…
As of Monday, at 9 am, the national average intraday gas price stood at $2.969 per gallon, the lowest point since May 2021. The Trump White House touted the accomplishment. There were a total of 35 states that had an average gas price below $2.99 a gallon on Monday.
Let that sink in for a moment—$2.96 per gallon. After Biden treated gas stations like his personal ATM machine, keeping prices above $3 for nearly his entire presidency, Americans are finally experiencing what competent energy policy looks like. This isn’t just about cheaper gas (though that’s pretty great). It’s proof that President Trump’s energy dominance strategy is delivering exactly what he promised.
Energy Independence Drives Economic Recovery
Here’s the kicker—this price drop didn’t happen by accident. (Shocking, right?) OPEC’s decision to increase oil production marks a complete reversal from the restrictive policies we suffered through during the Biden era. Yeah, the same OPEC that mysteriously tightened supply while regulations strangled American energy production.
Trump’s approach works because it’s simple: negotiate from strength. Those strategic tariff threats against China? They’re already reshaping global energy markets in our favor. No apology tours, no begging dictators for oil—just American leadership getting results.
According to GasBuddy’s Patrick De Haan, prices could tumble into the $2.80s as demand continues easing. We’re not looking at some temporary relief before another manufactured crisis. This is what sustained energy affordability looks like when you prioritize American workers over environmental theater.
Real Relief for American Families
The math is beautiful: drivers now pay about $41 to fill a standard 15-gallon tank. That’s $16 less than last year’s peak. Sixteen bucks might not sound like much to coastal elites pushing their electric vehicle fantasies, but for real America? That’s groceries. That’s medicine. That’s breathing room.
The ripple effects go deeper. Truckers keeping supply chains moving. Small business owners managing delivery costs. Regular people who just need to get to work without going broke. Lower fuel costs mean lower prices on everything that moves by truck—which is basically everything you buy.
Even better? This demolishes the left’s narrative that we need to sacrifice our standard of living for their green agenda. Turns out you can have both a strong economy and a cleaner environment when you embrace American innovation instead of Chinese solar panels.
This energy revolution proves a simple truth: when America flexes its economic muscle instead of tying both hands behind its back, everybody wins. The Trump administration calls energy dominance “a key driver for growing our economy,” but that undersells it. This is about freedom—fuel freedom, economic freedom, and freedom from depending on countries that hate us.
The best part? We’re just getting started. With predictions of sustained low prices and ramped-up domestic production, this is merely the opening act of America’s energy comeback. While the establishment media scrambles to explain away this success, working Americans are too busy saving money at the pump to care about their spin.
Key Takeaways
• Gas prices hit $2.96 per gallon—lowest since May 2021
• Trump’s energy dominance strategy delivers immediate economic relief
• 35 states now enjoy sub-$3 gas after years above that threshold
• Expert projections suggest prices could drop further into $2.80 range
