President Joe Biden's tweet about the 'most common' gas prices was slapped with a fact check Sunday to provide some more clarification.
Twitter slapped
Below the tweet, Twitter added some clarification on what "common" gas prices mean. The fact check distinguished between "the most common gas price" – which is $3.19 – and the "average price" – which is $3.80. The most common is the "mode" gas prices, meaning it happens to be the most frequent across the U.S. but is not necessarily incorrect.
Politicians ultimately have an interest in citing the most common gas price, given that it tends to be lower than the national average and diminishes the higher price.
