President Donald Trump promoted the “Freedom Fuel Network” offering gasoline prices well below the average market price a week ago, yet it is not clear where or how this new chain debuted.
The gas stations, located in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, appeared just before July 4, a time when Americans fill up for holiday road trips.
“The first Freedom Fuel Network gas station has landed in Philadelphia, lowering the price at the pump to $3.47 for our 47th President,” the White House posted on X. “President Trump is leading the charge to lower gas prices this summer – putting more money in your pocket.”
According to AAA, the nationwide average gasoline price sits at $3.88 and the average gasoline price in Pennsylvania sits at just under $4.00.
“Just as I promised, oil prices are dropping fast, and gas prices at the pump are dropping too,” Trump said on Truth Social. “Gas prices will soon be back to record low prices Americans enjoyed at the pump before our very successful ‘excursion’ in Iran.”
