US Gas Prices Rise Amid Seasonal Changes

Gasoline prices have increased in various parts of the United States following the seasonal transition to summer gasoline, which typically leads to a rise in prices. In Colorado, prices rose by 4.3 cents per gallon, averaging $2.90/g, while Maine saw a slight decrease of 1.6 cents, with prices now at $2.98/g. Meanwhile, Sacramento's average fell by 3.2 cents to $4.54/g, and South Carolina experienced a 4.9 cent rise, averaging $2.72/g. Nationally, prices increased by 6.3 cents per gallon, with the average now at $3.08/g. Patrick De Haan from GasBuddy explained that this increase is due to seasonal changes rather than political factors or tariffs, with ongoing economic uncertainties potentially limiting further significant hikes. Despite these changes, diesel prices have generally decreased, showing a slight reduction of 0.9 cents to $3.549 per gallon nationally.
