Gas and diesel prices forecast to set election-day highs despite Trump's energy pledge
On October 30, gas averaged $4.20 a gallon nationally, while diesel reached $6.32.
TLDR
GasBuddy expects gas and diesel prices to be the highest ever for a US election day on November 3, 2026. That is a forecast, not an election-day reading. On October 30, gasoline averaged $4.20 a gallon and diesel reached $6.32. Trump pledged in 2024 to halve energy prices, but the White House notes that inflation-adjusted gas prices were higher around earlier elections.
