Hassett never used the word 'average'.

Hassett never said "gas was below $2 for an entire state". He just said "gas prices got below $2 in some states". That is technically a correct statement. Some stations in Ohio are selling gas below $2. Not many, but a few.

Depends on how you interpret the meaning of "a lot". Some people might think 5 places is a lot more than 1 place. There is no definitive numerical meaning of "a lot".

I don't agree that any normal person thinks that "a few states got below $2" means the average price is below $2.
You obviously don't understand how politicians think. They always exaggerate. Happens once means everywhere. A 1.5% win in a political race is a 'landslide'.

It could just be a Thanksgiving week sale at a few stations. Who knows what the price will be in a week. But probably not lower than $2.

Not how I parse what he said. He said for a few states the price dropped below $2. He did not say the average price or the maximum price. Just that the price was below $2 in a few states. That is undeniably true. Like it or not.

Yeah well that won't happen until there is a democrat as speaker of the house, likely in 2027, but who know may happen in 2026 if enough republicans decide to bail early. But conviction in the senate is a whole other matter...

But again, why travel 3000 miles to enact a killing?
Certainly lots of targets in the state of Washington.
The travel aspect makes no sense.
