gas price forecast

The pain at the pump is only getting worse: Thursday’s gas price average was $4.48 per gallon in San Diego, an increase of nearly 10 cents in just a week.

Gas prices are higher than usual right now. It’s easy to compare it to last year’s low prices during the pandemic, but current prices are well above this same time in 2019 as well.

Experts are surprised gas prices have climbed this early in the year. NBC 7’s Consumer Bob explains what’s behind it all.

Gas prices have gone up almost every day since the year began. Even though it’s only a few pennies at a time, it quickly added up to more than 60 cents locally.

It’s no surprise that Californians pay some of the highest gas prices in the country. One reason for the high price is the amount of taxes per gallon.
