NOTTINGHAM, MD—For the eleventh straight week, the nation’s average gas price has risen, climbing 26.4 cents from a week ago and stands at $4.32 per gallon on Monday, according to GasBuddy data compiled from more than 11 million individual price reports covering over 150,000 gas stations across the country.
The national average is up 83.6 cents from a month ago and $1.47 per gallon higher than a year ago. The national average price of diesel has risen 53 cents in the last week and stands at $5.14 per gallon.
“After a furious increase in the national average over the last two weeks, the top appears to be in with average gas prices slowly starting to decline over the last few days,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “While the decrease could be short-lived, it is nonetheless a well-needed break from the large surge in gas prices we’ve experienced over the last few weeks. The situation remains fluid, and escalations remain very possible, if not likely. For now, a $4.50 per gallon national average is off the table, but it certainly could be a future possibility as long as there is conflict between Russia and Ukraine.”
The most common U.S. gas price encountered by motorists stood at $3.99 per gallon, unchanged from last week, followed by $4.29, $4.19, $4.09, and $4.39 rounding out the five most common prices. The median U.S. price is $4.19 per gallon, up 20 cents from last week and about 13 cents lower than the national average. The states with the lowest average prices: Kansas ($3.83), Oklahoma ($3.83), and Missouri ($3.87). The states with the highest prices: California ($5.74), Nevada ($4.96), and Hawaii ($4.91).
