Gas prices just keep climbing higher, and a gallon of regular gas in the U.S. will likely average $4 before the end of the weekend. The national average for a gallon of regular gasoline rose to $3.92 Saturday, up from $3.84 on Friday, according to AAA.
Prices had risen 11 cents Friday, up from $3.73 on Thursday. That followed an 11-cent increase between Monday and Thursday. Prices averaged $3.60 a week ago and $3.44 a month ago. And, this week’s increases suggest it is likely the national average “could creep over $4/gallon tomorrow” .
Moreover, don’t look for gas prices to hold at $4 nationally. Many places are seeing gas of $5 or more already. The average price per gallon in California has surpassed $5 at $5.18, the most expensive market in the U.S., the AAA said.
Several other states have already surpassed the average $4 per gallon, according to AAA:
- Hawaii ($4.69)
- Nevada ($4.41)
- Oregon ($4.38)
- Washington ($4.33)
- Alaska ($4.30)
- Illinois ($4.16)
- New York ($4.14)
- Pennsylvania ($4.09)
- Connecticut ($4.08)
