Trump falsely claimed gasoline prices were below $2.30 in most states; data showed averages were higher, with Iowa at $2.57.
President Donald Trump claimed in his 2026 State of the Union address that gasoline prices were below $2.30 a gallon in most states and as low as $1.85 in Iowa, but data from the American Automobile Association showed no state averaged below $2.30, with Oklahoma at $2.37—the lowest—while Iowa’s average was $2.57.
Only a few stations briefly offered prices near $1.99, and the $1.85 figure was not verified.
Prices have declined since Trump’s inauguration but remain above $2.90 nationally.
Fact-checkers found multiple claims in the speech misleading, including those about employment, border enforcement, drug seizures, and economic benefits from tariffs and tax changes.
