Gas Prices Rise By As Much As 22 Cents Per Gallon After a period of decline, U.S. gasoline prices are on the rise again. Due to an increased demand, the average price for a gallon of gas has climbed to $3.31 per gallon, according to AAA.
“We’re entering Spring Break season, and historically, March and April bring higher gas prices as demand rises,” says AAA spokesperson Aixa Diaz.
“With milder temperatures come more road trips, and this time of year tends to be a precursor to the summer driving season.”
Currently, California leads the country in high gas prices with an average cost of $4.74 per gallon, according to AAA.
Hawaii checks in second at $4.70, followed by Washington at $4.08 and Nevada at $3.98, the agency reports.
And rounding out the top five is Oregon, where residents are paying $3.82 a gallon, per AAA.
