Gas prices reach record high<\/p>\n
The average price of gas<\/a> in the U.S. rose to a new record high<\/a> on Tuesday of $4.37 a gallon, according to AAA<\/a>.<\/p>\n The record high represents a 17-cent spike since last week, and comes just two months after prices<\/a> climbed in March to the previous high of $4.33 per gallon. The spike also comes despite efforts from the Biden administration to reduce pain at the pump,<\/a> including calling on oil and gas producers to ramp up production<\/a> and ordering the release of millions of barrels of oil from the U.S. emergency stockpile.<\/p>\n The administration said in March it would release 180 million barrels of oil<\/a> from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve, the largest-ever single release from the reserves since their creation in 1974.<\/p>\n Russia’s war in Ukraine and an increase in demand nationwide have contributed to the increase in fuel prices.<\/p>\n CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n Energy prices overall have risen by about a third over the past year, contributing to the soaring inflation that has dented President Joe Biden’s approval ratings and undercut support for his agenda.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n via Washington Examiner<\/p>\n May 10, 2022 at 06:39AM<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Gas prices reach record high The average price of gas in the U.S. rose to a new record high on Tuesday of $4.37 a gallon, according to AAA.
