Coast-to-coast gas price surge leaves only four states under $3
TL;DR Summary
The national average for regular gas jumped about 16% in a week to $3.48, with California at $5.20 and Washington and Hawaii well over $4; only Kansas ($2.92), Oklahoma ($2.97), Missouri ($2.99) and Arkansas ($2.99) remain under $3. The spike is tied to Middle East tensions affecting oil, but officials say it should be temporary, while broader factors like taxes, regulations and refinery constraints also weigh on prices; some drivers are already shifting to public transit amid the sticker shock.
