Are all Freedom Fuel locations $3.47? Not anymore

President Donald Trump is touting a new fuel option for motorists: Freedom Fuel, advertising gas at a discount price to local consumers.

When the network was opened and announced on July 7, it advertised $3.47 per gallon regular gas at the pumps, a noticeable difference from national and state averages in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

But is the gas actually as cheap as the 47th President says?

According to some gas tracking platforms, it may not be.

On GasBuddy, a website tracking gas prices across the country with a pricing heat map based on user submissions, some of the Freedom Fuel locations’ pricing appeared to have risen.

Some still sporting the names of what appeared to be their previous sites, like a Gas N Go on Island Ave, the following addresses on GasBuddy match those listed as one of Trump’s 25 gas stations.

The pricing, however, varies:

• 2200 Island Ave, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – $3.57 as of July 8
• 400 Baltimore Pike, Springfield, Pennsylvania – $3.57 as of July 9
• 6243 Chestnut St., Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – $3.57 as of July 9
• 6800 E. Baltimore Ave, Lansdowne, Pennsylvania – $3.57 as of July 9
• 6801 Tilton Rd., Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey – $3.89 as of July 8
• 6501 Delilah Rd., Egg Harbor Township New Jersey – $3.57 as of July 9

Much about the gas station network remains unknown, like how long they’ll be operating or where stations could be popping up next.

Administration officials told USA TODAY on July 8 that the federal government has no role in the Freedom Fuel Network, nor is it providing it with funding.

The White House also said that “no other entity or person” is subsidizing the cost of gasoline.
