Americans are seeing the lowest Memorial Day weekend gas prices in years, with national averages reaching their most affordable levels since 2021—marking a significant milestone in the nation’s energy landscape. According to GasBuddy, when adjusted for inflation and wage growth, this weekend could see the lowest effective fuel costs since 2003 (excluding COVID-era anomalies). The drop follows President Donald J. Trump’s declaration of a National Energy Emergency and a sweeping rollback of prior energy restrictions. This policy shift has been credited with driving increased production and stabilizing supply, leading to broad consumer benefits and lower transportation costs heading into the summer travel season.
Cheapest Memorial Day Weekend Gas Prices in Years
It’s the Trump Effect in action: gas prices this Memorial Day weekend will be the cheapest since 2021 — and “if you adjust for inflation and rising wages, Americans are actually going to spend the least amount filling up this Memorial Day since 2003, excluding COVID,” according to GasBuddy.
The national nightmare that was Biden’s war on American energy is over. After President Donald J. Trump declared a National Energy Emergency on his first day in office, his administration has taken relentless action to revive the nation’s energy capabilities and undo the Biden-era stranglehold on American energy production.
