Investing.com -- The price of gasoline in the U.S. has fallen for four straight weeks. Most U.S. states now have gas below $3 per gallon, the White House highlighted Monday.
"Wall Street and Main Street should both be assured by what President Trump did in his first term... it's even better this time around... inflation is cooling... the national average of the price of gas is down 42 cents from one year ago...,” White House Presse Secretary Karoline Leavitt commented today.
Website GasBuddy confirmed the news. The website showed the average gas price in the U.S. was $3.026 per gallon versus $3.447 per gallon last year.
In West Virginia, the gas price was $2.85 on average today versus $3.26 a year ago. In Minnesota, gas prices were $2.96 versus $3.21 a year ago. In Georgia, gas was $2.89 versus $3.36 a year ago. In Florida, gas was $3.10 today versus $3.47 one year ago.
“This is real leadership in action,” Congressman Mario Díaz-Balart (FL-26) stated following the news. “President Trump is delivering on the mandate that the American people elected him on.”
In addition to gas, earlier, the White House highlighted that egg prices have been down nearly 50 percent since the end of January.
