Gas prices across the United States are at their highest level since late 2014 with shortages predicted in the run up to the Fourth of July holiday weekend.
According to AAA, the national average on Tuesday is about $3.11 per gallon and by this weekend, that figure may rise another nickel.
UPI reports further strains will come when as many as 43.6 million Americans hit the road for Independence Day weekend, which runs from Thursday to Monday, extending a trend that became evident earlier this month as prices ticked upwards.
The Biden gas crisis continues to rock working class Americans at the pump. A gas station in Los Angeles sold fuel for nearly $6 per gallon on Memorial Day weekend, as fuel prices continued to soar across the nation. https://t.co/lhmdpuEud0

“Today, 89% of U.S. gas stations are selling regular unleaded for $2.75 or more. That is a stark increase over last July 4 when only a quarter of stations were selling gas for more than $2.25,” AAA spokesperson Jeanette McGee said in a statement Monday.
“Road trippers will pay the most to fill up for the holiday since 2014.”
According to AAA, Mississippi ($2.74), Louisiana ($2.75) and Texas ($2.79) have the nation’s least expensive gas — and it’s most expensive in Hawaii ($4.00) and Washington state ($3.74).
At the same time California ($4.28) is continuing an unwanted trend of being at the top of the national price scale.

Just filled up today $2.98 Hobe Sound, FL.
And it was all literally stolen from us.
Joe caused this when he killed the Keystone Pipeline project.
Yea, $2.99 here in ND.
The price of ribeye steak at our local grocery was $6.99 a few weeks ago. Now it is selling for $9.99 per pound. We’re only at the beginning of the great impoverishment.
Nice going democrat voters. Eat it.
Exactly. And the drilling on federal land, Alaska etc.
Yep.
Yeah right... It’s just another excuse to raise prices before many people travel.
I paid $12.99 # last week for ribeye at Wallyworld!
Don’t worry about gas prices — we are energy independent.
Our country is being stolen from us as you read this.
Foreigners are forcing their way through our Southern border unopposed. While we are discussing our 2nd Amendment rights, they should send the many Texas hog hunters to the border to defend the US from the invasion. Has the US become afraid to defend itself? What good are the F-35s in the sky when your land is being occupied by the enemy?
Trump is here in Texas having talks with the governor and high ranking lawmen but all they do is cry about the untenable situation on the border. I am disgusted with our lack of leadership.
That’ll keep all them racist bastards from celebrating the Fourth of July!
Keystone Pipeline Project is only one thing in the energy equation. Wait till you find yourself without LNG and have to depend on Wind turbines and solar panels alone.
Agreed. I think there are a lot of tree huggers in the Northwest US wishing they hadn’t stopped the construction of new power plants. Karma can be a bitch!
This is while demand is low due to many people still working from home.
Trump’s fault.
