No source reports gasoline prices in Old Town Alexandria specifically. Alexandria-wide figures near the claim's date straddle $4: the cheapest Alexandria/Arlington regular gas was about $3.79 on Sept 1, while the Northern Virginia AAA average was $4.01, so the claim cannot be graded on the record.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

… It's really going to reset politics that already began with the energy revolution started by Trump. It was upset by Biden, but it's back now. I was driving down Washington Avenue in Old Town Alexandria, a place where gasoline normally is much higher than I've seen. Like, for instance, I stopped at a Buckeyes in Ohio and it got 299 gas, but it was below four dollars here, and I think that's pretty remarkable, that we've been able to wage a military conflict so incredibly successfully, with so few casualties and so much damage to an evil regime, and still keep oil largely under 100 dollars a barrel. …

Context. Patch (Sept 3, 2026) reports the cheapest regular gasoline in Northern Virginia on Labor Day Tuesday was in Alexandria and Arlington at around $3.79 a gallon, while AAA put the Northern Virginia average at $4.01.[3]
Context. Alexandria station listings and a GasBuddy snapshot from July show cheapest regular prices of about $3.69 to $3.85, but these cover Alexandria as a whole and are not tied to Old Town or to the claim's date.[4][5]
Context. The national average was $4.23 in late October and about $4.35 in mid-October, after the claim's September date, so they do not establish the Old Town price on September 7.[1][2]
Context. The claim's wording departs slightly from the passage: the post describes the claimant's own observation on Washington Avenue in Old Town, which is a single anecdotal reading rather than a general price for the neighborhood. The sources neither confirm nor refute the Old Town figure.
