Days before a neck-and-neck presidential race, pump prices — one of the most salient data points consumers use to gauge inflation — are tumbling in key swing states.

In Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada and Arizona, retail fuel prices have fallen at least 20% since the 2022 midterm election, according to the four-week averages of data from AAA. Nationwide, prices are down 17% while, in the battleground states of Georgia and Pennsylvania, they’ve fallen 11% and 16%, respectively.
