Gas Prices Reach Highest Level of Either of Trump's Terms in Office

Gas prices have soared to their highest level since President Donald Trump returned to the White House last January, highlighting the early domestic impacts of his Iran operation on American motorists.

The current national average cost for regular gas stands at $3.32, according to AAA, up from last week's average of $2.98 and $3.11 this time last year. And GasBuddy data, based on live user-reported estimates, shows that the average price of regular unleaded gas has increased 31.8 cents over the past week and sits at $3.32 per-gallon, a level not seen since September 2024.
