Claimant: Ed Markey (D)
Claim: “At a buck a gallon, every American driver is going to pay $500 more in gasoline prices at the pump this year.”
Rating: MOSTLY TRUE
Explanation: Gas prices have risen roughly $1 per gallon, and estimates suggest higher annual costs for households. However, expenses vary widely depending on driving habits and location, meaning not every driver will pay exactly $500 more.
