The pain at the pump continues for the vast majority of American drivers.
According to AAA, the average price of regular unleaded gas surged 59 cents over the last month, and Monday's average of $4.87 per gallon represents the most expensive average rate in United States history.
The one-week pricing spikes in Michigan (45 cents per gallon), Indiana (41 cents), and Wisconsin (39 cents) have been staggering.
The price hikes in Colorado, Kentucky, Minnesota, Nebraska, Ohio, and Texas have also been steep, with each of the six states incurring a minimum increase of 30 cents per gallon over the last week.
Amid this unprecedented surge, all 50 states are now reporting average fuel prices exceeding $4 per gallon, with Oklahoma being the last state to eclipse the $4 mark, on average (end of May).
The state posting the lowest unleaded gas right now? According to GasBuddy.com ... it's Georgia at $4.28 per gallon.
According to Gas Buddy, which monitors fuel trends in various markets and countries, 10 different states — Indiana ($5.12 per gallon), Arizona ($5.14), Michigan ($5.15), Washington ($5.39), Oregon ($5.40), Hawaii ($5.42), Illinois ($5.43), Alaska ($5.44), Nevada ($5.48), and California ($6.33) — are currently reporting gas averages at $5 or higher.
In fact, a Chevron gas station in Los Angeles reportedly has unleaded fuel at $8.05 per gallon.
For that particular situation, however, corporate Chevron said: "This station, along with the majority of our branded stations in California, are owned by independent businesspeople who make their own decisions about the price to charge at their stations."
In a Monday blog post, AAA attributed the record-high fuel costs to a volatile market and high demand.
According to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, AAA revealed that gasoline stocks decreased 5.1 million barrels to 414.7 million barrels...

Perfect Storm Of Factors Sends US Natural Gas Prices Soaring
Just saw 5.99 at the Maverik on Keystone in Reno
That will be cheap by the end of the summer.
we are driving to a wedding back in PA from the west coast....at this rate, it’ll cost us $2000 if gas nears $10.....might have to look into flying...yuck....but I’ll bet their prices will skyrocket too.....
Seems to correspond with the most corrupt government in history 🤪
Coincidence - I think not
The one-week pricing spikes in Michigan (45 cents per gallon)
More like 80 cents - 4.39 to 5.19 in less than a week.
Hey!!!
Biden’s #1 at something!
Arizona $5.14 ??
4.80 where I am in AZ.
It’s now $5.25 in central Indiana
I paid close to 6 in Scottsdale the other day
And we just take it.
I’d bet the fuel cost for Air Force One is out of sight.
I recall working at an abandoned gas station during the Obama years and overturned the old price sign that said something like $1.45 per gallon. My client (a liberal environmentalist) said something like “Boy - is THAT sign old!”.
I said - I don’t think it is THAT old.
I looked it up that evening and told him the next day. The $1.45 was from the beginning of GW Bush in 2001. We were working there 10 years later with Obama gas at $4+ dollars a gallon.
4.97 in South Jersey. Oh tomorrow is our primary. Van Drew was endorsed by Trump.
$5.25 outside Indy today. Terrible.
And nobody really talked about natural gas almost quadrupling since Biden was inflicted upon the Nation.
So what would Trump have done differently. Haven’t heard much from him.
