https://www.theblaze.com/news/jpmor...ll-be-paying-6-per-gallon-for-gas-this-summerAs the average price for gasoline reached $6 per gallon in California on Tuesday, analysts at JPMorgan are warning that price could be the norm everywhere in the country by the end of summer.
The national average price of gas is now at a record high of $4.57 per gallon, according to the American Automobile Association. That number is a 16 cent increase from the average last week, a 48 cent increase over last month, and nearly $1.50 more expensive than the national average last year, which was $3.04. Every state now has an average gas price above $4 per gallon, with Georgia, Kansas, and Oklahoma catching up to the rest of the country as of Tuesday.
Prices are expected to continue to rise as the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine disrupts international supply chains while at home, the Biden administration has canceled oil and gas lease sales. With more Americans expected to travel for work or vacation over the summer, a likely increase in demand for gas could push prices up even higher.
"There is a real risk the price could reach $6+ a gallon by August," JPMorgan analyst Natasha Kaneva told CNN on Tuesday. JPMorgan predicts that prices could soar another 37% by August as East Coast gasoline inventories have reached their lowest level since 2011.
