AAA reports National Gas Price Average Jumps to Highest Price of the Year
August 11, 2021
Washington, D.C. – Crude oil prices dropped below $70.00/bbl at the end of last week in reaction to concerns about the delta variant, growing COVID-19 Coronavirus case numbers, and the possibility of potential lockdowns. While crude is a little cheaper, gas prices are still positioned to remain high in August.
Today’s national average is $3.19. That is the most expensive gas price average of the year as well as $1.02 more than a year ago, a nickel more than a month ago, and two cents more than a week ago.
Crude Prices Fluctuate, but Remain High Amid Growing Global COVID Concerns. (AAA)
