What happened
The White House promoted the first Freedom Fuel Network gas station on July 8, saying a Philadelphia-area location was selling gasoline for $3.47 a gallon. The price referenced President Donald Trump as the 47th U.S. president and was 33 cents below the national average cited at the time. The rollout included 25 participating stations in the Philadelphia region, including locations in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Customers at a West Berlin, New Jersey, station said the lower pump price was their main concern.
