Gas Prices Surpass Biden Era Levels Under Trump Administration
Since taking office in 2025, Donald Trump has overseen higher average gasoline prices than those recorded throughout Joe Biden's presidency.
Data compiled after Donald Trump assumed the presidency in 2025 indicates that the average U.S. gasoline price per gallon has climbed above the level recorded throughout Joe Biden’s entire term. The findings highlight a reversal of Trump’s pledge to restore ultra-low fuel prices. The comparison spans the period since Trump’s inauguration against the complete tenure of his Democratic predecessor.
The analysis does not attribute the rise to specific policy actions or external factors. It underscores a notable shift in consumer fuel costs under one outlet administration. The report suggests that the promised price reductions have not materialized.
Why it matters
Higher fuel costs affect household budgets and challenge a key campaign promise.
