⛽️📈In 10 states, a gallon of gas now costs more than $5. According to the most recent data from AAA, U.S. gas prices hit a new record on Monday, with a gallon of regular gas costing an average of $4.865 (not adjusting for inflation).

California has the highest average price of $6.34, but ten states have now surpassed the $5 mark. “People are still fueling up, despite these high prices,” AAA spokesperson Andrew Gross said in a news release. “At some point, drivers may change their daily driving habits or lifestyle due to these high prices, but we are not there yet.”

According to AAA, consumers are paying more around the country: no state’s average is below $4.28. Parts of the West, Midwest, and Northeast see some of the nation’s highest gas costs.
