The first Freedom Fuel gas station has opened in Philadelphia as part of a broader initiative to offer drivers discounted gasoline, the White House announced.
Motorists at the station can purchase gas for $3.47 per gallon, about 50 cents below Pennsylvania's statewide average.
"The FIRST Freedom Fuel Network gas station has LANDED in Philadelphia, lowering the price at the pump to $3.47 for our 47th President," the White House said in a post on X.
"President Trump is leading the charge to lower gas prices this summer — putting more money in your pocket."

The White House also shared a video featuring customers praising the lower prices.
"Right now, we're in a difficult time in this world, but it's nice to see some stability that we can enjoy," one person said in the video.
The launch comes after President Donald Trump pledged to lower gas prices through the Freedom Fuel Network, which includes 25 stations across the greater Philadelphia area, with most located in Pennsylvania and several in New Jersey.

A White House spokesperson told FOX Business on Thursday that the private company, Freedom Fuel Network, owns all 25 stations and is not affiliated with the Trump administration.
"The Administration is not involved in the company, nor has the Administration given the company any funding," the spokesperson said.
"There is no other entity or person subsidizing the lower gasoline costs. They are simply reducing their margin to make prices at the pump more affordable for drivers in Philadelphia and New Jersey."
"This retailer is taking the lead, others should follow," the spokesperson added.

The rollout follows Trump's call for gas retailers to immediately lower prices at the pump, arguing consumers should be paying less as crude oil futures retreated to levels seen before the recent U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran.
Although the national average hovered around $3 per gallon, Trump urged retailers to target prices closer to $2.50 per gallon.
He also accused some companies of price gouging and warned that the federal government could investigate if prices remained elevated.
