“Average gasoline prices reached $4.50 per gallon during the Donald Trump administration.”
HIGH CONFIDENCE
TL;DR ·National average gasoline prices reached $4.55 per gallon in May 2026 under Trump.
Multiple high-credibility sources confirm that the national average for gasoline reached and surpassed the $4.50 per gallon mark in May 2026 . Specifically, as of May 8, 2026, the national average was recorded at $4.55 per gallon . This peak followed a period where prices were significantly lower, such as $2.98 in October 2025 and $3.14 in mid-April 2026 . However, geopolitical factors identified as Trump’s Iran war caused prices to soar from $4.02 in March to $4.30 by late April . On May 7, 2026, reporters questioned the President about prices rising past $4.50 a gallon nationally . By June 4, 2026, the average had slightly receded to $4.26, though it remained more than a dollar higher than pre-war levels and just below the $4.50 highs reached in May .
