“Gasoline prices reached $4.50 per gallon during Donald Trump's presidency.”
HIGH CONFIDENCE
TL;DR ·National gasoline averages surpassed $4.50 per gallon in May 2026 during Trump's second term.
Evidence confirms that national gasoline prices reached and exceeded $4.50 per gallon during Donald Trump’s second presidency in 2026. While the national average was approximately $3.12 per gallon at the time of his second inauguration in January 2025, it rose significantly over the following year . By May 7, 2026, reporters questioned Trump regarding average gasoline prices recently rising past $4.50 a gallon nationally . By May 8, 2026, high-credibility reports indicated the average had increased to $4.55 per gallon . Earlier in his term, prices had already reached $4.02 by March 2026 and regional averages in areas like San Francisco were recorded at $4.50 as early as late 2025 . These figures stand in contrast to his first term (2017–2021), during which averages generally remained below $3.00 per gallon .
