NEW YORK (NewsNation) — Gas prices are increasing again nationwide, just as U.S. consumers had grown confident prices would remain low this fall after two months of lower prices.
The national average for a gallon of gas sits at $3.80 per gallon, according to GasBuddy — representing an 11-cent increase in the last week.
Several factors are contributing to this — including the war in Ukraine. It has yet to be determined how Hurricane Ian could impact prices.
Where consumers live can determine how much they’re paying. Here’s a look at the average cost of a gallon of gas around the country:
- Texas: $3.09
- California: $6.38
- New York: $3.596
- Illinois: $4.166
- Florida: $3.22
Some California refiners are undergoing maintenance work, which means there’s less supply, causing a 35-cent to 55-cent jump in prices.
The Upper Midwest is also getting hit with high prices after a refinery fire in Toledo, Ohio.
