American Automobile Association: US gas prices set new record of $4.67

Gas prices keep rising in the US as the country keeps imposing sanctions on Russia.

    US gas prices set a new record of $4.67

The American Automobile Association (AAA) said on Wednesday that the national average fuel price in the US has hit a record high of $4.67 per gallon. 

"Today’s AAA National Average [is] $4.671," AAA said.    

The highest prices are being witnessed West of the US, where four states have an average price of more than $5 per gallon. California continues to hold an absolute record, with motorists there paying $6.194 per gallon.  

Regarding the state that has the lowest average price, it is Georgia, which pays $4.190 per gallon.    

AAA recalled that a year ago, the average price for a gallon of regular gas was $3.045.

US gas prices skyrocketed to new highs earlier this month, as the fight against inflation went on, with all attempts at curbing the rising prices ending frivolously.

The average price of a gallon of gas reached $4.37, the AAA said, rising above the last record of $4.33 reached on March 11.

"Gasoline and diesel (hit) a record high today" in data that had not been adjusted to remove inflation effects, said Andy Lipow, an analyst at Lipow Oil Associates.  

Worldwide tensions and the global rise in crude oil prices have been driving up the cost of gas as "the world seeks to find alternative supply to Russian oil," he added.

Biden and his Vice President Kamala Harris, along with their pundits on American television, are telling US citizens to 'go green' and buy an electric vehicle, putting a band-aid on the core problem.
