Oklahoma City – Motorists in Oklahoma are celebrating a holiday gift at the pump, with regular unleaded gasoline dipping to as low as $1.89 per gallon in parts of the state, the lowest prices seen nationwide. Drivers filling up in Tulsa and Oklahoma City reported the bargain rates on December 22, 2025, crediting President Donald Trump’s aggressive energy agenda for the dramatic decline from peaks above $5 during the Biden years.
The plunge stems from Trump’s first-year actions: expanded domestic drilling, revocation of green energy subsidies, and tariff exemptions on key imports that stabilized supply chains. Average national prices now hover at $2.71, down 22% since January, with Oklahoma— a major oil-producing state—benefiting most from increased production and refinery output. “We’re pumping more American energy than ever,” Energy Secretary Chris Wright boasted, noting record crude exports and a 15% rise in rig counts.
Analysts attribute the drop to multiple factors: Trump’s approval of Keystone XL revival, eased permitting on federal lands, and diplomatic pressure on OPEC to boost output. In red states like Oklahoma, Texas, and Louisiana, prices under $2 are common, easing budgets for trucking, farming, and holiday travel. One Tulsa driver called it “the Trump discount—finally, relief we can feel.”
Critics caution the lows may be temporary, warning of volatility if global tensions flare or green transitions stall long-term. Yet, for millions hitting the road this Christmas, the savings are tangible: A 15-gallon fill-up costs $28 instead of $75 two years ago.
As families gather, Trump’s energy dominance delivers a tangible win—lower bills and fuller tanks—in a season of gratitude.
