The national average price for regular gas continued to increase on Wednesday, climbing to $4.064 per gallon. Wednesday’s pricing is almost 5 cents higher than Tuesday’s and comes after a weekend that saw a slight reprieve at the pumps. 

That small decrease was short-lived, however, and gas prices passed the $4-per-gallon price point on Tuesday, the highest price for regular gas since 2022. Fuel costs have increased fast and furious over the last month. On Tuesday, the price for a gallon of regular gas was $4.018, according to AAA. A week ago, the cost was $3.983, and a month ago, it was $2.984. A year ago, the national average price for a gallon of regular gas was $3.201.
