AAA's national average for regular gas was $4.17 a gallon on November 2, 2026. The figure ($4.16) is near AAA's but not EIA's weekly figure ($4.27, week of October 26, 2026), so the record is mixed. Last few years, EIA weekly U.S. average for regular gas: Biden (Jan 2021–Jan 2025): $2.39 at the start, high $5.01 (Jun 2022); Trump (since Jan 2025): $3.11 at the start, low $2.78 (Jan 2026), high $4.50 (May 2026).
