Donald Trump stated at a Nebraska rally that gas prices were $1.95 and $1.85 per gallon at stations he passed.

What we found

Supports. The Rev transcript of the October 5, 2026 Grand Island rally records Trump saying he passed a gas station at $1.95 a gallon and another at $1.85 a gallon.[2]

Supports. The Roll Call Factba.se transcript of the same rally records the identical $1.95 and $1.85 statement, timestamped in the speech.[3]

Supports. MS NOW reports that at the Monday night rally Trump recalled seeing gas stations advertising $1.95 and $1.85 a gallon while driving through Iowa.[4]

Contradicts. A self-published blog argues the $1.85 station never existed, citing GasBuddy data for Iowa from January 27, a different date from the speech; this is a low-credibility source and does not address whether Trump made the statement.[5][6]

Context. The transcripts place the stations in Iowa ('I was riding in Iowa'), so the claim's omission of Iowa is a dropped detail rather than a contradiction of the statement itself.[2][3][4]

Context. The AP's 'In his own words' timeline records Trump claiming in February that he saw $1.85 gasoline in Iowa, showing he repeated the Iowa price claim in other speeches.[1][7]

• The Kuhner Report · Oct 7, 2026“So this is Trump in the Nebraska rally, okay? This is what he says just before the, the, the statement where they take completely out of context. Roll cut one, Mike. "We have to stop them from having a nuclear weapon, so I was writing an article. I made a speech there, and I passed a gas station, one dollar and 95 cents a gallon. I passed another station, one dollar and 85 cents a gallon."”Post →
