I fear the increase that many Americans are seeing In gas price won’t slow down anytime soon. While much of the price increase is focused on West CoastHigher prices are spreading more and more states around the country. National average gas prices are currently at $3.81/gallon, and most of it in the US are seeing much higher prices, according to AAA.
As I said, the high concentration of prices in the west is not exactly new, but it is dripping. Now, Michigan and Illinois are costing $4.18 and $4.21 per gallon, respectively. California, as has traditionally been the case, has by far the highest average of Petrol price nationwide is at 6.41 USD per gallon. Prices were so high again in the Golden State that officials authorized the sale of a less expensive winter gas a month ahead of schedule.
Also worth noting, nearly all of the lowest prices in the country are in the southern states, which means that the impact of Hurricane Ian on the region did not take a toll on low gas prices. as originally predicted. That is definitely a good thing. Connecticut also has some of the lowest prices in the country, but they’re a bit weird so we’ll share that’s weird a surprising situation.
Current country average price per gallon of gas, now $3.81, up six cents from a week ago, but luckily it’s far from the record high set in mid-June at $5.02 per gallon. It will be a while before we see prices that high again.
The reason for these price rallies is that the formula of supply and demand has been tested and is true. AAA reported that reduced gas supplies to the western states were due to refinery maintenance and more people taking to the streets. The reasons midwestern states are seeing higher prices are the same formula, except instead of maintenance, a very large and deadly refinery fire in Toledo, Ohio closed the plant on May 20.
