A gallon of regular gas now fetches $3.47 nationally, according to AAA. That is below the $3.54 average on February 24, the day Russia invaded Ukraine. That is down about 12 cents in the past week and 29 cents in the past month. This week marks the first time since February that the national average has fallen below $3.50 a gallon. Gas prices were climbing in January and February as investors worried about disruptions from a Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Although gas prices are still relatively high for this time of the year, they have also completely reversed the spike caused by the war in Ukraine. That spike worsened inflation and set off inflation alarm bells around the world. The national average is now down by $1.55 since hitting a record high of $5.02 a gallon this past June.
Fake news again
Yes and it’s being done by depleting the SPR. What a poor idea.
I would be willing to bet CNN credits POTUS for this, but wait... I thought Biden couldn't control gas prices, isn't it out of his hands? So when it starts lowering a bit he's the reason but when it spikes beyond belief after he takes office that's not his fault right?
Not in the wonder. State of Gavin Newsom
Trump time was at $1.89 per gallon, are you that lost?
👇👇👇👇👇
CNN is a joke just like joe
Lol NOT
Yeah that sounds good except it's depleting our reserve what happens next
But Diesel is double . And that matters more .
And still over double what we paid under Trump🤡
Not sure “plunge” is anywhere close to accurate.
But wait, Biden claimed just less than a month ago that fuel prices were lower than when he took office. Or was that misinformation? Guess he aught to be removed from twitter.
Just wait it’s a political vote purchase
What was the price when Biden took office on Jan 20, 2021? Hint: $2.39
I think it's just 'fake news ' because that's certainly not the case here.
I swear, if you people weren’t gaslighting, you wouldn’t have jacksh*t to post. Unbelievable.
Not 100% true
Golly! How long til it reaches what it was when he took office?
If it was Putin’s price hike, is this Putin’s price reduction? Facts are, it’s winter so less driving. Also, no extreme cold yet
We were at 2.50 a gl were still around 5.00 after being 7.50 /8.00 … funny people are patting them selves on the back for taking credit for this when they caused it in the first place
It’s still extremely higher then it was when the clown that’s in the White House took office. He has destroyed American & CNN is willing to help him do it.
“Plunge”
Yeah! Until we deplete the national reserves, which won't take long.
But not as low as it was, when Trump was in command
BUT STILL NOT AS CHEAP AS IT WAS UNDER THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION....
You learn something new everyday. I never figured one step forward after three steps back was considered progress. I have to remember that next time I’m at the blackjack table. Thank you and keep up the good work!
Hahahahaha and still a dollar fifty more than under President Trump
I remember paying 200
Crazy how we go from energy independent to presidents don’t control gas prices but now they are lower he did it.
How about you report that it was Joe who raised the prices. Quit with the crap about them going down an report it correctly why they went up and we don't want to hear about Russia. It started in 21 not 22 get the report right
Hm, Increased prices where I live.
CNN is Full of Bull. The price of fuel is way to High because of Democrats phony Climate Change War.
You apparently don't live around Chicago.
It’s still 75% higher than when Trump was in office. So much for the “plunging “ price you ID10T
Still way higher than before bejing Biden 'took office' so there's that. Oh and he just said no more drilling and still not closing our southern border. Still a pedophile
$5.34 high and now it's $4.69. it's still not $3.36.
Shameful journalism.
More cnn lies.
That’s because they are using our strategic reserve
Proce of food is still crazy high, mortgage rates are above 7% and I can't buy a dozen eggs for 25 cents anymore from Aldi. Eggs are literally 5 dollars a dozen what are you celebrating for CNN, you had to lay people off today.
Nice try! Cheapest in Los Angeles is $4.65. Before Russia invade it was $3.75
Where are you filling up? fakenews
Say something cnn grandmasterjay
GAS HAS 0 TO DO WITH BIDENS MONEY Laundering AND OFFSHORE ACCOUNTS that are getting stuffed in kick backs--or is it just straight 10%, I forget. 2 years ago Trump had us energy indep. You LIE and CNNSTILLSUCKS 🤣
Good 👍
Hahahahahahaha f.u.
Forget about Americans' gas bills, let's give Ukraine another $50B for our current proxy bloodbath
Not in Pennsylvania
'cheaper' That word should not be used when talking about gas prices.
It is still more expensive than when Biden came in to the office of the president. His policies drove prices up. This is not a win that they have come down some. They are still way above where they were when he came into office!
Not here in Utah. We are still 3.75+ per gallon. Thanks Biden.
Russia is NOT the reason gas prices went up..the price of gas went way up way before Russia. You guys are a disgrace and do nothing but protect the DNC and are a extreme left-wing company that is dictated by the left. No wonder your ratings are terrible.
I miss these days.
Quit kissing azz
….but still $2.00 more than when Biden took office.
And our national reserve is empty.
Where it was when Russia invaded was still higher than where it was when Brandon took office. This is not exciting news.
Still more than double than 2019
Fake news!!
Last week.. was 55 to fill my car.. this week was 60.. where is the gas cheaper
BY 7 CENTS
WTF does this mean? Still blaming ol putin ?
plunge Going down verrrry slowly is not a 'plunge'
Still not mean tweet low, so what's the point
How about the diesel price?
It was even lower before rail boss Biden became President.
Can I have some of what you people at CNN are smoking? Your wrong on so many levels it's amazing just how low you people can go! Whale crap don't go that far down.
NOPE LIES. I PAID $5.67
It’s Christmas sooooo Wait one more month and the crisis will go insane
Bull, there still higher
Two years ago when Trump was President gas prices were $1.87 cents per gallon. Then along came Biden and now we have chaos.
BS
Is there ever going to be a time in which you actual tell the truth? I mean dear God, at this point it’s pathological
It was cheaper when Trump was president, and half the country was unemployed...
N this is why your ratings keep getting worse😭
Dropping because traders figure a recession will reduce gas consumption. Prices and inflation mainly because dems want to eliminate oil and gas drilling The dems don't care about the poor or middle class all they care about is solar wind electric cars and owning people
Not in my town, it's been going up!
NOT AS CHEAP AS TRUMP ADMIN! STRATEGIC OIL RESERVE IS DEPLETED! THE WORLD'S NATIONS HATE US... EXCEPT CHINA.
But not below where it was when Sleepy Joe took office.
Not in AZ
I can only assume that Europe has taken out their rival by proxy and added Europe to their clientele, thus keeping prices down..how many Ukrainian victims has the US taken in?
This is complete BS, here in Pa the reg gas is 4.06, diesel is 6.00, this is why your news media is in the toilet, you only know how to lie.
But that pushed the other things up, rent, food, etc. So when are we going to see a drop on that? Just asking. The way I see it is: Lets increase it and then dropped so the people are happy with us jajajaja.
Lolllll
Could have fooled me 😂😂😂😂
No, it’s a lie it’s not her gases more because the Democrats and Biden want to be more. I want you to buy an electric car that’s the whole thing make it painful for you.
How are the reserves doing tho someone pull up that graphic 😂😅
Tapping into the oil reserves helped you write this headline. How are those CNN layoffs going ?
Still not during Trumps term.
So invasions are good then. Thanks CNN!
Not here in Hilo, Hawaii. $4.99 a gallon today. More than 2x what it was when Biden took the oath.
Don't give us false information, we want gas prices what we had during the Trump presidency.
Not here it is NOT
No winners in WAR just death and destruction.
Still not cheaper than when Trump was in office, prices will need to plunge a hell of a lot more to get there.
No it’s not and it over double then when TRUMP left office.
Hmmmmmmmm
Plunge? Where?
Bull 💩💩💩
Hopefully the price will reach the low price when Trump was POTUS. CNN spin has me puking.
And when trump was in office Fucktards
Where is it cheaper? What planet? Because it is not here more media porn for the masses!
What about before POTUS became president?
This is foolish, who cares, it’s still way too high and we all know it.
tedcruz Jim_Jordan Sit Down both of ya.
Because Chinas demand has decreased… supply and demand
Great, so prices have gone from suck to stink.
Still isn’t even close to being as low when Trump was in office! You forgot that fact! Conjecture Not News - CNN
2.59 more a gallon where I live than it was when Biden took office.
The war in ukraine was caused by osama obama and biden administration... despot
Too little, too late!
So not true
But not trumps cheap price. Till then you will always take L’s. If you can do better then trump you’ll put him in the shadow but for now he’s 1
Laughable
Your definition of plunge is totally different from most peoples. The price per barrel of oil went up to over 80.00 per barrel today. Fake news once again.
A plunge is a deep dive. Gas prices are fixed and steady in my world but remember that the government said they have no power over increases so they don’t have any power over declining prices! FJB!
You can just imagine CNNs tongue in the crook of Joe's withered nutsack. 'Did I say it right, daddy?'
Nothing to brag about. Trump was at $2.00 when he left office with a full emergency supply in the strategic reserve. Now the reserve is nearly empty and diesel is at $5.25 a gallon. The country runs on diesel. Absolutely no success from this administration. Just Brag.
Yes gasoline was under two dollars when President Trump was in office than Biden ran it past four dollars before he started the war in Ukraine now find out why did Ukraine to missiles at Poland people got killed
Not in my neighborhood
That is a blatant lie gasoline was over four dollars a gallon before these people start this BS war in Ukraine by the way why did Ukraine launch missiles at Poland? Fake news you need to be fact checked hopefully Twitter will kick you off for your fake news
What another BS story by CNN. It may be true but it's only been less than a year since they invaded
Do just reprint WH press releases?
War has it's enemy's !
Still $1.50 more than when Trump was POTUS. But don't let facts distract you from fellating Biden.
Lies
Funny, how you're calling ... 'prices plunge', when 2 years ago diesel prices were more than double less of what it is now. Is there 'price plunge' in mortgage interest rates?, car loans?, rent?, groceries
How does it compare to the last inauguration day.
You screwed it up before Ukraine.
Gas prices had already gone nuts long before Ukraine - liar.
Never mind that our strategic oil reserves are alarmingly low. This seems like the equivalent of transferring money from your savings account to your checking account each month to pay your bills and then acting like there’s no problem paying your bills.
That’s a lie, they were climbing way before Russia. This president wants to destroy fossil fuels. Do homework on Germany, 11 years and climate change there is a mess. Cost are through the roof
But diesel isn't coming down...
And our reserves our at there lowest
Trump2024 MAGA FJB
If that was the excuse for the price going up, why is it going down? They're still at war.
How about getting it down to where it was pre biden by drilling instead of using up our reserves..Nice try you Provda rip off
That is artificial, wait til Biden locks down the reserves again,
As demand falls, supply builds and price drops. To bad my food, utilities, interest rates and everything else is still higher than 2 1/2 years ago.
So did Putin drop his rate hike?
It's still more than 1.50 than when the great Donald Trump left office. Try to defend that. Man, you guys are lahoosers.
Where’s the reserve at?
Right after Republicans take the house. Not that it has anything to do with it.
Now do Diesel fuel
How about cheaper than before trump. Pack of ****
Still over $1.59 to $3.00 a gallon than when Trump was in office. Open the Effin pipelines instead of getting dirty oil from a country that hates us. Do some real investigative reporting and stop being commie pricks.
Right… but gas was already expensive before the war. Russia is not the reason for the high gas prices
This is the joke of the year 😂😂😂
Am I supposed to be happy about it being higher than when he took office? And diesel is still around $5 a gallon which directly affects inflation.
Keep trying.
Haha look at the us oil reserves to well your fact check ccn.
How about compared to when the Potato took office?
Lack of world demand -
When it hits $2 a gal. Give me a call
Still higher than two years ago
Are we at the $1.89 of realDonaldTrump? Nope.
Liars
Not for long! Saudi drastically cut production and US oil still isn't ramping up theirs.
Lies. You should see it here in Cali. CNN STILL STINKS
Not in Maine‼️
Not where I live. Still hovering around $3.90/gallon
When the strategic reserves dump runs out the price will skyrocket, all smoke n mirrors for now. The lies never last long!
I don’t think plunge is an accurate description.
Looks the same to me.
Its dropped maybe fifty cents off of $4.35. I mean its better than the opposite. But,dont get your panties in a bunch CNN. It was under $2.00 when Biden initiated his War on Energy. 17 Executive Orders, Day One. Over 40, First Week. Most of which, War on Energy
Gas is still over $3.70 where I live. Milk is now over $4.50. Egg prices are astronomical.
So POTUS lied when he blamed the war.
Hahahah we want the prices where they were under Trump!
Gas was $2.89/gal in Kentucky yesterday!
So that proves what we've said all along. Gas prices had nothing to do with Russia.
Apparently they haven’t seen the price of diesel!
Once again, only reason is to alleviate pressure on democrats. If democrats wanted these things to drop, all they would need to do is pump in the states instead of making other countries do our dirty work.
But nowhere near the $2.19 it was when Biden took office. 😉
Yes purchased oil from the Mid East and raided the US oil stock pile.
They'll have to fill the petroleum reserve back up and the price of oil will skyrocket.
When Trump was in office and right before this do nothing useless president took office the gas down the block was 1.99 gal., so stop the bull-shit blowing smoke in the American peoples as5es.
We are depleting our reserves. Of course prices are going down. Wait till we fill them up again.
This is total BS and a left wing media lie. This is why CNN has no viewership.
Joke
Yes because demand is low and supplies are high. Inflation has caused people to make cuts in their driving habits
Where ? I haven’t seen gas prices “plunge”
Yet still $1 per gallon higher than last summer
So democrats cause high oil prices, and now want credit for lowering it, genius
Liars, let me know when it is under 2 dollar's a gallon.
Let me know when gas prices get back to Trump level.
Except that gas was already expensive before Russia invaded Ukraine. Also, oil prices have rebounded recently and Biden can't drain the Strategic Petroleum Reserve for much longer.
Now we know why CNN is laying off employees it can’t even report real information
That can only mean a recession is imminent.
Let me guess Biden did that. It wasn't his fault when they went up. He blamed everyone else then. There still way up from when Trump was in office.
Not only that, the price of Sesame Beef at my favorite Chinese takeout has plummeted from $19.95 over the summer to $14.95 now. Not kidding. Weed is also 60 percent cheaper. inflation
Plunge?
November 2020 gasoline prices were at 2:20$. It is well below current 3:34$. War is not a nain factor, stop your bias.
Not sure where you are doing your research at, my gas prices have stayed the same. In all fairness to an administration that is 80% lies, staying the same is the same as lowering
Good relief at the pump ⛽ for motorists as we head into the holiday season.
Still $1.25 / gal more than when Biden was elected.
It wont last long. As soon as china lifts its lockdown,prices will climb.
Lies
So Russia doesn't control gass prices?
So NOW it's BIDEN right? Or should we thank Putin for bringing gas prices down? Please gaslight so we know what to think.
How is our strategic reserve doing?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Bullshit! Again CNN proves they are liars.
Selling the reserves does not count. And where did the money go when we sold the reserves
But not where it was before Biden took office
Just think how much better it could be with a responsible energy independent strategy.
Are you saying 'The BIG GUY' actually did something?
Oil prices generally drop when you drive a nation/world into recession/depression WTI prices are already up $9/barrel in the last few days on hopes of rate hikes stopping
I want it back to where it was before Biden.
But not as cheap as when Trump was in office. And when Dementia Joe stops using up our strategic reserve, the price will go back up. Chris Licht has a lot of work to do.
Everything across the globe that moves uses diesel. When will that come down? $5.39 at Costco this morning in the NW USA.
PA GAS WENT UP FROM $3.89 -$4.15 AFTER MID-TERMS
And still over a dollar more than 2 years ago
This is for sure temporary. Don’t believe me? I’ll buy 100 gallons of gas today and in 4 months we’ll see if you want to buy it at todays price instead of then.
🤣🤣
WHCOS Because the midterms are over.
Congratulations! Out traitor in chief regulates our oil production then lifts sanctions and deregulated the oil industry in Venezuela. Why is he still president?
Plunge? Really?!
Well that happens when you drain the strategic petroleum reserve.
talk to us when the gas prices go below pre biden in the WH
Are we sure about that?
Thanks to biden rite?
And diesel is still too high, but wait the unions will fix it with a strike to get sick time that they already have, it’s called PTO
Love the propaganda
Finally….
What was it when Trump was in office?
Can’t wait till it’s cheaper than Dec. 2020!
and still way above from when Trump was in office. Nice try though
Lol. Still well above the price when Trump left office. Biden is a disaster.
I wondered why Republicans had stopped mentioning it
Can you show what our country’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve looks like in contrast to this.
Still $1.70 higher than The last guy
Let me guess, the president doesn't control gas prices until the price goes down, and then let's give him credit.
