The ongoing global supply chain issue is contributing to Americans feeling increasing pain at the pump.
By the end of last week, the national average for a gallon of gas reached its highest point in seven years. It hit an average of $3.37 per gallon for the first time since 2014. This is over a dollar more than last year, according to AAA.
Prices are only expected to go up as Americans approach a busy holiday season that will test the national supply chain even more. The pandemic is also impacting the surge.
One month ago, AAA reported gas prices were stabilizing. However, now the prices are back up.
