The Aporia · Average US gasoline prices fall below $4 per gallon for the first time since July

Average US gasoline prices fell below $4 per gallon for the first time since July, dropping more than 12 cents in a single week according to AAA gas prices. Despite this decrease, current prices are still higher than ever before during November and were nearly $1 more compared to last year's rates. The decline is linked to falling oil prices; West Texas Intermediate crude dropped from over $104 per barrel at the end of October to around $84 as of Tuesday morning. California had the highest gas prices at $5.83 per gallon, while North Carolina offered the lowest at $3.34 per gallon.

Story summary

As of November 10, 2026, the average nationwide price for regular gasoline fell below $4 per gallon for the first time since July 20, according to data from AAA. This drop follows a significant decline in oil prices, with Brent crude briefly falling below $90 a barrel. The decrease is attributed partly to President Donald Trump’s reassurances that he does not plan to attack Iran and positive outcomes of midterm elections where Democrats gained control over the House and Senate. Gasoline prices remain elevated by more than 30% since the start of the war with Iran in February, reflecting continued global tensions affecting oil markets.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.

Hakeem Jeffries says he is a 'hard yes' for Hegseth impeachment Jeffries said that House Democrats will have a conversation about whether there's enough support for the resolution when they convene in Washington for the first time after the midterm elections on Tuesday. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., said that he'll support impeaching Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Jeffries told ABC News he's a "hard yes" on the proposed resolution to impeach Hegseth, saying Hegseth "abused his power, undermined our national security, and engineered this reckless and costly war of choice in Iran."
