The average for a gallon of regular gas reached an all-time high of $4.374 on Tuesday after increasing by 5 cents overnight, AAA said.
According to AAA, gas has increased 17 cents in the last week, 26 cents in the last month and $1.41 in the last year. Tuesday’s record topped the nation’s previous record of $4.33 set back on March 11.
Several states — California, Nevada and Hawaii — are averaging more than $5 per gallon. Meanwhile, a handful of states — Oklahoma, Kansas, Arkansas, Missouri, Mississippi and Georgia — still have average gas prices below $4 a gallon.“With the cost of oil accounting for more than half of the pump price, more expensive oil means more expensive gasoline,” said Andrew Gross, AAA spokesperson. “These prices are creeping closer to those record-high levels of early March.
The cost of crude oil jumped significantly from December 2021 through March 2022, going from a low of $65 a barrel to a high of $119. The sting Americans are feeling at gas stations is shared throughout the world. For instance, the Canadian Automotive Association reports gas hit $5.48 a gallon on Tuesday, nearing a record high.
