These gas prices are almost as bad as the job market: Two states set new record high for gas prices
Fuel prices in two U.S. states have surged to an all-time high as the national average cost per gallon has risen in the weeks following the conflict in Iran.
According to Patrick De Haan, the Head of Petroleum Analysis for GasBuddy, both California and Washington have set a new benchmark for the average price of diesel.
The service organization, AAA, has the current average price for diesel in California at $7.12 per gallon, the highest it has ever been. While diesel in Washington is listed at $6.52 per gallon, the highest it's ever been there.
Data from AAA shows the highest price California has ever reached for regular unleaded was at $6.44 per gallon in June 2022. Today, the price sits at $5.84. Washington’s current price for regular unleaded is at $5.30 per gallon, with their record for regular unleaded at $5.56, also in June 2022.
