Drivers are expected to see the cheapest Labor Day weekend gas prices since 2020, according to GasBuddy, a fuel savings platform.
Gas prices climbed under former President Joe Biden, shooting up to record highs in June 2022, with the national average per-gallon price nearing$5. Labor Day weekend gas prices are projected to average $3.15 per gallon in 2025, the lowest since 2020 when compared with $3.16 in 2021, according to GasBuddy.
“It is not due to unexplainable phenomena that U.S. gas prices at the pump are finally dropping to 5-year lows. It is clearly due in large part to the Trump Effect. Over 200 actions since President Trump’s Inauguration Day to free American domestic energy supplies are starting to pay off,” Marc Morano, Publisher of ClimateDepot.com, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “Actions have good consequences as these pro-energy policies have resulted in U.S. oil and gas production reaching their highest levels ever in the summer of 2025.”
Americans also saw the cheapest Memorial Day weekend at the pump since 2021 this year before summer gas prices then saw a four-year low, according to GasBuddy and the American Automobile Association.
The expected cost at the pump this Labor Day weekend will only be slightly cheaper than last year, which averaged $3.29 a gallon, according to GasBuddy. 2 Labor Day weekend 2020’s gas prices were $2.22 per gallon, according to the platform.
Biden implemented a sweeping and costly green agenda during his presidency, taking regulatory actions to restrict oil production, including a January 2021 executive order halting new oil and gas leases on federal lands, canceling the massive Keystone Pipeline project and imposing a last-minute ban on offshore drilling across a swath of federal waters. In contrast, the Trump administration has championed the oil and gas industry, creating more offshore leasing opportunities and even seeking deals with blue states like New York to expand pipelines.
Notably, electricity generated from fossil fuels hit a nine-year monthly high in July as President Donald Trump has been moving to boost conventional energy resources, according to Reuters.
