I just asked Grok….
The average price of gas (regular unleaded gasoline) in the USA today, February 25, 2026, is $2.975 per gallon, according to AAA's national average, explicitly listed as the current price as of 2/25/26.
This reflects a small daily increase from yesterday's average of $2.951. For context:
- Week ago: $2.923
- Month ago: $2.864
AAA is the most commonly referenced real-time source for daily national retail gas price averages in the US.
Other sources show slight variations due to update timing or methodology:
- EIA (U.S. Energy Information Administration) reports the latest weekly average at $2.937 per gallon for the week ending February 23, 2026 (their data lags slightly and is not daily).
- Some aggregators or older snapshots reference around $2.95 or minor differences, but AAA's daily figure is the standard for "today."
Note that this is the national average; prices vary significantly by state (e.g., higher in California at ~$4.63, lower in states like Mississippi or Texas around $2.70–$2.80). Wholesale/futures prices (around $1.99/gallon) are lower and do not reflect what consumers pay at the pump, which includes taxes, distribution, etc.
It was 9% during Biden's presidency. It will never get that high with Trump as President.
That's all you come in here to say?
Uhhhh, you don't know that the entire civilized world had a massive inflation spikes due to the free money handouts combined with the supply chain shutdown? Really? You think Biden made a policy change that temporarily spiked inflation around the fucking globe? That's what you think happened?
