The nation’s average price of gasoline has risen for the third straight week, increasing 10.6 cents compared to a week ago and stands at $3.21 per gallon, according to GasBuddy® data compiled from more than 12 million individual price reports covering over 150,000 gas stations across the country. The national average is up 13.2 cents from a month ago and is 35.6 cents per gallon lower than a year ago. The national average price of diesel has increased 3.6 cents in the last week and stands at $3.594 per gallon.

“While the national average price of gasoline saw its largest weekly gain of the year, it likely won’t last long, as oil prices have plummeted amid growing concerns about the global economy following the U.S. announcement of some of the most significant tariffs in over a century, along with OPEC+ restoring oil production faster than anticipated,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy.

In early Monday trade, WTI crude oil was down another $1.52 per barrel to $60.47, while in late Sunday trade had fallen below $60 before recovering above. That’s nearly $9 per barrel lower than last Monday’s $69.57 per barrel start. Brent was not safe either, falling $1.56 in early Monday trade to $64.02, over $10 per barrel lower than last Monday’s $74.13 per barrel start.

The states with the lowest average prices: Oklahoma ($2.72), Mississippi ($2.73), Tennessee ($2.77).

One of my liberal 'friends' made sure to post a 'Thanks Trump' about gas prices this weekend. I can't figure out what's making prices jump when oil is tanking, as referenced in the article.

You’d have to offer me a seven figure salary to move myself and my family there. Flat out serious.

I believe some folks sarcasm meter is broken but I’ll bite. Funny how gas was higher as some point under Biden. Wonder if lib posted Thanks Biden. Speculation driving prices is always interesting to me

Diesel certainly hasn’t risen 3 weeks straight. It’s done the exact opposite

I'm sure middle class Americans living pay check to pay check while dealing with the drug-infested streets of San Francisco take heart in that small bit of trivia.

Were you under the impression that San Francisco is the entire state of California?

When was the last time you were there?

Do you have any idea what you're talking about?

There was literally a thread on here last week saying gas prices were falling under Trump.

The rise is due to refineries switching to summer blend and undergoing maintenance

This happens every year. It will go down in a couple weeks

Interesting how they left out the obvious Biden to Trump comparison, and did a Trump to Trump comparison instead
