The increase of three-tenths of a cent, now at an average $6.46 per gallon, is the 19th record-high price in the last 20 days.
After a brief one-day hiatus, when costs dropped by just one-tenth of a cent, gasoline prices have yet again jumped to another record-high at an average of $6.46 per gallon.
Average prices have now climbed $2.21 since this time in 2021, 48.7 cents from a month prior, and 6.7 cents since last week, according to information from the AAA and the Oil Price Information Service. "We're already paying the summer blend gasoline, so we tend to see these prices go up this time of year," said Doug Shupe, AAA Corporate Communications and Programs Manager."This summer it's gonna be even worse because of the really expensive crude oil prices and the global oil supply concerns."
