Trump said gasoline prices will tumble after the election, while the Energy Information Administration projects only a gradual decline and diesel may top $6 a gallon.

  • President Donald Trump said Wednesday that fuel prices will fall after the midterm election, blaming Iran for current costs. Trump claimed gasoline prices would soon 'tumble' and drop below $2 a gallon.
  • Both state and national average fuel prices jumped overnight Tuesday into Wednesday following strikes on Iranian fuel tankers. Iran retaliated with strikes on American vessels and military bases in the region.
  • According to AAA gas price data, regular gas in Illinois was $4.41 on Wednesday, up nearly 97 cents year to date. National diesel averages reached $5.94, with historic highs above $6 expected.
  • Illinois Gov. Pritzker, speaking in Dallas, blamed rising fuel and grocery costs on President Donald Trump and Republicans. Pritzker claimed Trump's trade war is harming farmers and their way of life.
