"These movements follow a cyclical pattern that we have observed for over a year," explained Mark Jenkins, spokesperson for AAA.

Recently, the Donald Trump Administration celebrated the beginning of 2026 by highlighting a significant drop in gasoline prices and mortgage rates, achievements it attributes to its “America First” agenda, focused on energy dominance and housing affordability.
In a statement published on the official government website, the White House stated that gas prices have fallen to their lowest levels in five years.
According to data from GasBuddy, in early 2026, the national average price for regular gasoline was below $3 in 43 states, less than $2.75 in 30 states, and $2.50 or less in 17 states.
In at least 19 states, there are even reports of stations with prices below 2 dollars per gallon.
The administration assures that this trend will allow motorists to spend $11 billion less on gasoline in 2026 compared to 2025, with savings of hundreds of dollars annually per household and the lowest burden of fuel spending on disposable income in the last two decades.
