Freedom Fuel gas prices are rising only days after debut, GasBuddy data indicates

(NEXSTAR) – Even the price of “Freedom Fuel” is subject to fluctuations, it seems.

The White House on Tuesday touted the debut of the “Freedom Fuel Network” of gas stations in a post on social platform X, stating that prices at Freedom Fuel pumps had been lowered to $3.47 per gallon in honor of “our 47th President.”

The same post also linked the Freedom Fuel Network to President Trump, claiming he was “leading the charge to lower gas prices this summer — putting more money in your pocket.” But the White House has since claimed that the Trump administration is not behind the Freedom Fuel Network and is not subsidizing its prices.

No matter who is operating the stations, however, it appears that the previously advertised price of $3.47 is not as feasible as it was once promised.

GasBuddy, an app and online tracking resource for gas prices, has recorded prices of at least $3.57 per gallon at the majority of Freedom Fuel’s 25 locations as of Friday morning, according to its Gas Price Map tool.
