National gas prices

The national average price of gas on Thursday is at $3.57 per gallon, a two-penny increase from the day before, according to AAA.

The current national record was set on Sunday, June 12, 2022, at $5.01 per gallon.

The previous record high had been $4.33, set on March 11, 2022. But the old record was $4.08 per gallon, set on July 16, 2008.  

For some context, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics says $4.11 in 2008 was worth about $5.25 in 2022. AAA had predicted prices would keep spiking and that they could resume their climb, which they did after a short-term decline.
