National average hit $4.02, according to AAA data, capping an extraordinary rise from $2.98 just a month ago
Average US fuel prices have crossed $4 a gallon for the first time in four years, piling pressure on drivers as Donald Trump’s war on Iran continues to boost oil markets.
The nationwide average climbed to almost $4.02 on Tuesday, according to AAA data, capping an extraordinary rise from $2.98 just a month ago. The fuel price last reached this high in August 2022.
On the west coast, many drivers filling up cars and trucks are grappling with prices far higher than the US average. In California, the average is $5.89 a gallon; in Washington state, the average is $5.35.
Those prices are not returning to what we had before the MAGA fucknuts went ahead with their stupidity. The damaged refineries will not return to normal operations for several years. This could be a big win for the EV, renewable energy and just maybe…the USA will wake the fuck up and build a decent public transportation network with high-speed rail.
You say that, it’s a big win for Exxon and Chevron and the like. They will make sure the Renewables get the shaft.
