Summary

  • $3.47-a-gallon fuel went on sale July 7 at 25 Freedom Fuel stations in the Philadelphia-South Jersey region, including several locations in Egg Harbor Township, Marlton and West Berlin.
  • The White House promoted the rollout as a response to rising fuel costs, posting a video of customers thanking President Donald Trump for the lower prices.
  • A White House spokesperson said the Trump administration is not involved in operating the network, describing Freedom Fuel as a private company that owns all 25 stations.
  • The company said it can undercut the national average price of $3.79 a gallon by accepting lower profit margins, though funding and operating details were not publicly disclosed.
