"Despite Trump's exaggerations, he's not entirely wrong. Gas prices have risen in recent years, hitting a high of about $4.93 a gallon in mid-2022, largely due to the geopolitical tensions following Russia's invasion of Ukraine which caused prices to spike."
"Trump has been using gas prices to attack Vice President Kamala Harris, claiming in an email that fuel prices had 'soared,' making commuting and travel more expensive, despite evidence showing that prices have been declining recently."
"However, a month before the election, gas prices are falling, challenging Trump's narrative just as they have steadily decreased for the last five months, indicating a possible shift in public sentiment regarding his attacks on the administration."
"According to AAA, there are 10 states with gasoline averages below $3 a gallon, facilitating the trend of declining prices due to low demand and a current oil cost of about $70 per barrel, providing an opportunity for consumers to benefit from lower fuel costs."
