Fox News Anchor Sandra Smith interviewed Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum on Monday, and made a comment about gas prices that was completely and totally accurate, yet nonetheless curious.
Smith welcomed Burgum, the former governor of North Dakota, to America Reports, and kicked off the conversation with a question about gas and oil prices.
“I’ll ask you a question so many are talking about, and that is gas and oil prices,” said Smith. “Thankfully, we have seen oil come down significantly — more than 20 percent since election day.”
“Gas prices are now negative under this administration, almost to the three-dollar mark,” she continued, “How much do you believe they will continue to go down? The president is talking about — I think I’ve heard him talk about — $2 gas?”
As Smith spoke, the following image was shown on the screen, using data from AAA to report on the national average gas price.

The price today, according to this graphic, is $3.07. A year ago, it was $3.08.
That is a difference of $0.01. One cent. One penny.
To be clear, every single word of what Smith said was accurate. A decrease of $0.01 is in fact a negative trend for a price.
Whether or not that $0.01 price difference is something that actually makes a practical difference is a matter that the reader can decide.
It should also perhaps be noted that Trump announced in February he was ordering the Treasury Department to stop minting pennies, leaving this one-cent price drop with an expiration date.
Smith is also correct that President Donald Trump has “talked about” $2 gas. He has, in fact, repeatedly claimed that gas is $2 per gallon or even less in some states since he started his second term.
Unfortunately for the president — and the American driver — that number does not match reality.
The current national data collected by GasBuddy.com shows there is not a single state in the U.S. where gas is less than $2, and only a few isolated places where it’s around $2.50. For example, residents of Natrona County in central Wyoming are paying an average of $2.438 per gallon.
