U.S. Gas Prices hit 14-Year High

By Sara Carter, March 7, 2022

AAA reported that the average U.S. gas prices have reached $4.009 per gallon on Sunday, the highest since July 17 of 2008 when gas prices hit a record $4.114 per gallon.

In just the past week, average prices soared 11 percent. Gas was an average of $3.604 one week ago and just $2.760 one year ago. Prices are highest in California, where the average price is $5.288.

In Los Angeles and San Francisco, average gas prices have reached $5 for regular fuel, while some stations are reportedly selling premium gas for more than $7 a gallon.

Hawaii has the second highest prices at $4.695, followed by Nevada and Oregon with averages of $4.526 and $4.466.

Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy, tweeted over the weekend “To make it implicitly clear, this is the cost of bipartisan sanctions on Russia for their war on Ukraine.”

De Haan also told USA Today that more cities are likely to see prices hit $5 a gallon in the coming weeks. He said prices soaring to an average of $4 a gallon “was unlikely to have happened without Russian action.”

GasBuddy also predicts a national average price of $4.25 by Memorial Day. “Seasonal factors including increased demand for gas, refinery maintenance and the switch to summer blend gas, on top of current geopolitical tensions, could propel prices upward of $4.25 per gallon by Memorial Day,” GasBuddy said in a statement.

Last week, the International Energy Agency (IEA) announced its 31 member countries coordinated to release crude oil to help counter rising prices. President Biden announced that the U.S. would give 30 million barrels from America’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve to “help blunt gas prices here at home.”
