<p>This summer, gas prices have hit the lowest national average since 2021.</p>
<p>Prices dropped to $3.155 per gallon since last week, the American Automobile Association (AAA) reported on Friday.</p>
<p>“Prices at the pump keep dropping thanks to President Trump unleashing American energy,&#8221; White House Assistant Press Secretary Taylor Rogers told The Daily Wire. &#8220;President Trump ended Joe Biden’s reckless war on American energy, and he’s making life more affordable for families as a result.”</p>
<p>As of Friday, the nation&#8217;s <a href="https://gasprices.aaa.com/state-gas-price-averages/">highest gas prices</a> are in California, where the average cost is at $4.499 per gallon. Hawaii and Washington were the only other states above $4 per gallon, averaging $4.475 and $4.386, respectively. Mississippi has the country&#8217;s cheapest gas, averaging $2.72 per gallon.</p>
<p>“Summer gas prices are the cheapest they have been in four years thanks to consistently low crude oil prices this year,&#8221; AAA Spokesperson Kellan Howell told The Daily Wire. &#8220;Crude oil supply is currently outweighing demand.”</p>
<p>In June 2022, midway through the Biden administration, AAA found that for the first time since it began tracking prices, the national average for a gallon of gas had reached $5.00. Fuel prices remained elevated for the remainder of former President Joe Biden&#8217;s term, well above the $2.39 figure that marked the start of his presidency.</p>
<p>Gas prices <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/inflation-creeps-up-as-trump-prepares-major-tariff-rollout">ticked</a> up 1% in June, according to the most recent Consumer Price Index report. But prices have remained low this summer, despite tensions in the Middle East.</p>
<p>The Trump administration has taken steps to prioritize lower fuel costs. The recently passed &#8220;One Big, Beautiful Bill&#8221; encourages fossil fuel development and cuts tax credits and subsidies from green energy. The administration has said, &#8220;Having efficient, reliable, and affordable energy is the key to American security.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Department of the Interior just <a href="https://www.doi.gov/pressreleases/interior-ends-preferential-treatment-unreliable-subsidy-dependent-wind-and-solar">announced</a> plans to &#8220;[end] preferential treatment for unreliable, subsidy-dependent wind and solar energy.&#8221; The department will end subsidies for wind and solar energy to &#8220;[level] the playing field for … clean coal and domestic natural gas.&#8221; Wind and solar projects will now undergo &#8220;elevated review&#8221; before being approved.</p>
<p>The Trump administration also <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/end-the-government-bias-against-coal-trump-signs-order-to-bolster-floundering-american-industry">announced</a> plans to slash regulations and expedite leases for coal mining. A new coal mine in Tennessee was <a href="https://www.doi.gov/pressreleases/new-coal-mining-permit-approved-tennessee-boost-americas-energy-independence">approved</a> thanks to &#8220;expedited environmental review&#8221; procedures.</p>
