AAA says Cost of Gasoline Is Still Going Up
October 18, 2021
Washington, D.C. – The national average for a gallon of gasoline rose a nickel over the past week to hit $3.32. The primary driver of this surge remains the cost of crude oil, which is now closing daily above $80.00 a barrel. In August, the price of crude was in the low $60.00s per barrel.
“Compared to the price of gas a year ago, it now costs consumers about $17.00 more to fill up their vehicles,” said Andrew Gross, AAA spokesperson. “That’s the cost of a large pizza with toppings. And unfortunately, it doesn’t look like drivers will be finding relief at the pump any time soon.”

Rising Crude Oil Prices means Higher Prices at the Gas Pump
October 11, 2021
Washington, D.C. – The national average price for a gallon of gas rose 8 cents on the week to reach $3.27. This is the highest price since October 2014 and is primarily due to the surging price of crude oil, which crept above $80.00 bbl before edging slightly lower.
“The key driver for this recent rise in the price of gas is crude oil, which typically accounts for between 50% and 60% of the price at the pump,” said AAA Spokesperson Andrew Gross.
