In his prime time address, President Trump shared this about gas prices:

“Gasoline is now under $2.50 a gallon in much of the country. In some states, it just hit by the way is $1.99 a gallon,” he said. 

For some people listening to the address, those figures doesn’t add up.

“I would like to see where that is. I haven’t seen no prices like that,” said Lehigh Valley resident Anthony Edwards.

If you check prices along Allentown’s 4th Street, regular runs the gamut from $2,89, $2.93, $2.99 and $3.15 a gallon.

$1.99 is no where in sight.

“I want to know where, because it’s not here. It’s not around here,” said Lehigh Valley resident Kimberly Belles.

The cheapest gas we could find was in two counties in Texas selling regular for $2.12 a gallon.

“The national average for gas prices today across America is $2.89 and in Pennsylvania, it’s about $3.12,” said Jim Garrity AAA Director of Public Affairs.

Garrity says while you will be hard pressed to find gas at $1.99, gas prices have come down significantly.

Garrity saying last year at this time we were paying $3.03 a gallon.

The disparity between what we’re paying and what the president said has some folks frustrated.

“Don’t just pull a number out of thin air or try to make people feel better. Tell us the reality,” said Lehigh Valley resident Chris Snyder.

While others are hopeful.

“I’m very hopeful that it comes to $1.99 here. That would be awesome,” said Dan Gates.

“He’s trying to get it to that point, you know, just got to take some time. He just got in office, you know,” said John Kline.

AAA says gas prices are contingent on a number of factors, the price of oil, taxes, demand and the cost of the gas itself.

In colder months, a special winter blend is sold at gas stations making it cheaper.
