GREENVILLE, S.C. (FOX Carolina) - Gas prices are now the most expensive in United States history after another jump overnight, according to AAA.

AAA said early Tuesday morning, the national average rose to $4.17 per gallon up from $4.06 per gallon.

We’re told the rise in prices is all due to high demand, inflation, and the war in Ukraine.

The spike is impacting the Upstate too, which normally has lower than average prices.

The Oil Price Information Service (OPIS) says a national average of $5 dollars per gallon is possible.

Well, on the plus side, once we can’t afford the gas to get to the grocery store, we’ll be spared seeing the empty shelves.

It’s a different picture when you adjust for inflation:

Waiting for it to get to $6.66 before I really freak out.

When do they institute gasoline rationing?

The black market for gasoline then would make the current price levels now look downright cheap.

Not yet they’re not. Obama brought us higher gas prices in 2008. Especially when you factor in for inflation.

Can't stand that stuff, but it seems to be the pretentious in vogue crap these days.

They just taste like weeds to me.

It’s a sad state of affairs when one can’t even afford markdown meat.
