“The national average is now at its highest point since November 2014 with average gas prices advancing in nearly every state,” Patrick DeHaan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy, said in a news release.
“The only good news for motorists? We’re nearing a turning point in the U.S. — gas prices are perhaps just a dime away from hitting a peak for the short-term, pending OPEC’s meeting in June. With refineries well positioned for the summer months, we look for some relief by mid-June, but do expect this summer to remain one of the priciest in the last few as average prices climb close to the psychological $3 per gallon barrier.”
The national average went up 4.3 cents last week to $2.81.
