You may have noticed, gas prices are on the rise and hitting levels not seen in more than three years. Gas prices nationwide are up a nickel in just the last week. That’s 20 cents in the last month, according to AAA.
Drivers fueling up in New Jersey are paying just under $3 for a gallon of regular unleaded.
“It was $54.16 for 18 gallons, and I just paid $40 for 13 gallons,” Damian Woo told CBS News.
In California and Hawaii, gas prices are approaching $3.70 a gallon, nearly a dollar higher than the national average.
“There are 10 states that are at $3 a gallon or above,” AAA’s Robert Sinclair said
“We’re seeing extremely high demand for gasoline,” Sinclair said. “With the economy moving along as strongly as it is, there’s a lot more work, and with work, comes a lot more transportation.”
Sinclair says the steady climb is also due to a diminishing supply of crude oil.
“The price of gasoline is going up and we’re now at what is considered the pain point for many drivers,” Sinclair said….
Note…
Donald Trump maybe digging America into a deeper hole by piling tariffs on top of higher gas prices….
What a hurt to pile on his fellow citizens ….
Actually this could cause Trump as much trouble as anything.
Americans always act with visceral anger at rising gas prices.
