“The FIRST Freedom Fuel Network gas station has LANDED in Philadelphia, lowering the price at the pump to $3.47 for our 47th President,” the White House announced on X on Tuesday. “President Trump is leading the charge to lower gas prices this summer - putting more money in your pocket.”
President Donald Trump first announced the opening of the gas stations in a Truth Social post last week, in which he said a “VERY smart Retailer, located throughout the Northeast” was behind them and was opening up the stations “because they love the U.S.A.”
The Freedom Fuel Network is a private company, a White House official confirms to TIME, and owns all 25 locations.
Few other details have been made public about the initiative, including about who’s behind the venture and how the business is operating behind the lower prices.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that the first location, opened on Tuesday, was converted from a previous Sunoco station in Dresher, Pennsylvania. Patrick De Hann, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, a tech company that helps people find cheaper gas, told the outlet that the pricing model of Freedom Fuel could not be profitable.
Democratic Rep. Jim McGovern of Massachusetts accused the Trump Administration of running the gas stations and suggested that such involvement in the initiative would be hypocritical, referencing the Administration’s critiques of New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s proposal for public grocery stores.
Earlier in his second term, Trump assured Americans that gas prices would “soon” drop below $2 per gallon.
Last month, the President accused oil companies of price gouging and called for a Department of Justice investigation. “The big oil companies are not dropping their price at the pump commensurate with the sharply lower prices they are paying for oil,” he said. “Those prices are dropping like a rock! In other words, customers are being ‘gouged.’”
