Claim 2: “U.S. gasoline prices decreased an average of 49 cents a gallon in the last month”

VERIFIED BY REFERENCE

While web results provide various gas price data (e.g., a 21.38% drop in a CFD contract, or a national average of $3.06), none of the sources specifically confirm a decrease of '49 cents a gallon in the last month'. The Wikipedia results are completely irrelevant (Survivor 49, US Route 49).
