Context: much of the nation is seeing gas prices below $3/gal, with 40 states at that level, however, only 1 in 5 states (for a total of 10) have averages below $2.50/gal, so most of the country isn't seeing $2.50/gal at this time, and 0.1% of stations is below $2/gal.

it seems many are using state averages to dispute that individual stations are below $2. GasBuddy is indeed tracking over 100 individual stations below $2, while the national average is $2.89. No state has an average below $2, but more than 100 stations are.
Fact check:
Retail gas prices are not under $2; see data from AAA gasprices.aaa.com
