Key takeaway According to available information, Fox News stated that the average price of gas today is $4.
A recent incident has come to light involving Fox News and their reporting of gas prices. The network was found to be misrepresenting the cost of gas, claiming it was lower last year than it actually was. According to available information, Fox News stated that the average price of gas today is $4.06, and last year it was $4.13.
However, this is not accurate. Further details on this incident can be found through news outlets. The correct average cost of regular gasoline last year was reportedly $3.13 or $3.14, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics.
