Gas prices have been falling since President Donald Trump took office and major cities like Denver are actually seeing prices dip well below $3 per gallon, right ahead of Thanksgiving.
According to Gas Buddy, the average price for fuel per gallon in Colorado is $2.590, with figures showcasing the lowest average this year. For greater perspective, that is down 24 cents from last year’s average of $2.830.
KDVR also reported that one gas station in the Denver region dipped below $2:
Here’s where the cheapest gas prices were in Denver on Sunday and Monday:
Shell, 7273 E. Evans Ave. – $1.94 Sinclair, 2101 S. Holly St. – $2.03 QuikTrip, 6477 E. Evans Ave. – $2.03 Murphy Express, 4990 E. Evans Ave. – $2.03 Conoco/7-Eleven, 7080 Tower Rd. – $2.05
Americans remember all too well gas prices hitting record highs in the middle of former President Biden’s administration, reaching the all-time high average of $5.016 nationally for unleaded on June 14, 2022. Colorado reached its all-time high of $4.903 just six days later.

It’s been around 2.77 and 3 bucks around my area though today the gas station I drive by every day went up 5 cents
Lower fuel prices lowers prices on everything.
Thank you President Trump. Governors Inslee and Ferguson
Fuel dropping helps as well.
And let's not even bring up the cost of eggs. About a 60% drop in my area. If you don't kill laying hens for no reason the price of eggs drops? Who knew? Well, everybody.
I just drove from Maryland to Texas and back. Gas ranged from $3.15 in Marxist states like Maryland to $2.39 in one of the southern states. Mississippi maybe.
You can tell which states respect their citizens.
All that gas tax - biggest in America? It’s awful and has a major impact on affordability in Washington. Nobody’s taking about reducing taxes. Ever notice?
The commies running Colorado will probably raise state gas taxes. They’ve done it before.
$1.94 in Denver? And I thought $2.22 in the Ozarks was cheap!!
The two gas stations in my Shoreline neigborhood went down to 4.19 today.
“Price of Thanksgiving dinner for ten has dropped from $58 to $45.”
I assume you are referencing the Walmart thanksgiving promotion. The problem with using that example is that this years “basket” has less items than last year and fewer name brand items (name brands were replaced by Walmart’s own Great Value brand items) in order to reduce the cost. It is not the same quantity or quality of last years promotion.
They also deleted the pecan pie this year…argggggg !!!
“Marxist states like Maryland to $2.39 in one of the southern states. Mississippi maybe.”
LOL Mississippi just raised their gas tax this year. Maryland did not.
Now Mississippi’s gas tax is still a lot lower than Maryland’s but that is not due to Marxism. It is because Maryland must maintain some of the busiest roads in the nation, including Interstate 95 and a series of bridges and tunnels around Baltimore, Washington DC , across the Chesapeake Bay and on the Eastern Shore. Their roads are also subject to this nasty destructive element called winter.
That’s the only tax they didn’t increase this year.
The moron Governor and legislative clown show burned through $4 billion in surplus plus $1,5 billion in debt in the last two years.
So instead of living within their means like real people these jerks raised almost 200 different taxes and fees.
I can’t wait to retire and move out of this craphole. Maybe I’ll do it the same day.
I keep my own spreadsheet.
Same store as last year. Same items.
No mac and cheese like on the Aldi or Wal-Mart list.
What is up with mac and cheese for Thanksgiving?
Do we have a vegetarian coming?
Wow what a coincidence !!!! You referenced the exact same numbers the President referenced when he talked about Walmart’s Thanksgiving basket. Amazing how groceries are up almost 2% on average from last year for everyone but you.
Here they are $1.79.
Probably the biggest item to drop.
Milk is down from $3.02 to $2.59 a gallon.
Butter is down from $2.99 to $2.49 a pound.
Now granted that these are sale prices but they were sale prices last year as well.
Canned goods are down about ten cents a can as well.
I know that does not fit with what ever you want to believe but here in reality land a lot of food prices are actually down.
Tea, celery and beef are higher. Pork and chicken are about the same.
This year the thanksgiving box was $44.31 last year it was $58.47.
And those are not Wal*Mart prices in either case but our local Mega-lo-Mart.
Maybe it is just.... gasp..... reality?
I will grant that my poor dumb state is smart enough not to put sales tax on food so that might be have some effect but sales tax are pretty much a you problem.
Eggs were never $8.00 a dozen here. Plenty of fresh eggs were and still are available for about $4-5 a dozen at any farm or roadside stand. Crappy supermarket eggs are $3-4 a dozen here. Meat is through the roof as is bread. Sure you can buy the garbage store brands cheaper if quality is not important to you. The administrations own numbers admit that average grocery prices are over higher today than they were a year ago. This is not me making things up, this is verbatim from the USDA website “Consumer Price Index for Food (not seasonally adjusted)
The all-items Consumer Price Index (CPI), a measure of economy-wide inflation, increased 0.3 percent from July 2025 to August 2025 and was up 2.9 percent from August 2024.
Food prices rose faster than overall inflation. The CPI for all food increased 0.4 percent from July 2025 to August 2025. Food prices in August 2025 were 3.2 percent higher than in August 2024.
The level of food price inflation varies depending on whether the food was purchased for consumption at home or away from home:
The food-at-home (grocery store or supermarket food purchases) CPI increased 0.4 percent from July 2025 to August 2025 and was 2.7 percent higher than in August 2024.” (Updated Sep 2025)
Oh I am sorry I thought we were talking about prices in the STORE not prices when you drive all over the place.
Crappy supermarket eggs are $3-4 a dozen here.
Like I said, $1.79 a dozen here. And those are cage free eggs.
Meat is through the roof as is bread.
Well.... no. Not here in any case.
Chicken and pork are the same price they were last year. Beef is indeed up.
Sure you can buy the garbage store brands cheaper if quality is not important to you.
Those "garbage store brands" are usually made in the exact same factories and with the exact same ingredients as the "Name Brand" that you pay more money for because they have an advertising budget.
The prices are the prices.
