U.S. gas prices have risen to a seven-year high with a national average of $3.22 per gallon, AAA said on Wednesday.
The last time gas prices were at the current average was October 2014, AAA said. The national average a year ago was $2.18 per gallon.
Wednesday’s average is four cents higher than what it was for the month of September ($3.18).
The Houston area in Texas has some of the nation’s lowest prices, with an average of $2.78 per gallon. Mono County, Calif., has one of the highest averages ($5.18).
California has the nation’s highest average at $4.42.
The rise coincides with an increase in oil prices. West Texas Intermediate crude futures traded at $77.60 per barrel Wednesday, inching closer to the $79 per barrel mark in November 2014.

“U.S. Gas Prices Rise To Highest Average In 7 Years
We can thank the socialist Democrat Party and their puppet president Biden for this. Seven years ago we were under the rule of the socialist Democrat Party’s Obama, the Tinkerbell PinocchiObama.
Under the Donald Trump Presidency gas prices were more than $1.50 lower per gallon.
Remember: ACA (Obamacare) will “Lower health care premiums by $2,500” LIE.
And we had the same Nasty Nancy Pelosi telling us, that they had to pass the ACA Bill to find out what is in it. Now we have the same Nasty Nancy Pelosi telling us that we must pass the $3.5 trillion social infrastructure Bill to find out what is in it.
Why would any intelligent, sane person trust the Democrat Party???
IF THEY ARE sane, they wouldn’t BE DEMOCRATS>
THANKS BANANA-BRAIN BIDEN—WE WERE ENERGY INDEPENDENT AND IT DIDN’T TAKE HALF OF A HUNDRED OR MORE TO FILL UP
DUMBA**
They haven’t been this high since the LAST Democrat was in the White House!!
Didn’t democrat President Joe Boden tell us that this intrafracture legislation Bill Wouldn’t raise our Costs , Gas, Groceries, Cloths etc, etc, if passed.? Didn’t democrat President, zjoe Biden promise ??
Name me one promise HE HAS ACTUALLY KEPT??
just another nail in our capitolist system economy coffin.
THe way they are going, that economy is going to be so buried, i doubt it could ever recover.
