The last time average prices were at these levels was in November 2014.
Four states in the Southeast -- Virginia, Florida, North Carolina and Georgia -- have declared a state of emergency related to the Colonial Pipeline cyberattack. Some analysts have attributed the price hikes and fuel shortages at some gas stations in the region in part to panic-buying.

As of Wednesday, some 28% of gas stations in North Carolina have fuel outages, according to GasBuddy data, marking the highest of any state. This is followed by approximately 17% of gas stations in Georgia and Virginia.Energy Sec. Jennifer Granholm on Tuesday urged calm, saying there should be no cause for"hoarding gasoline."
"Much as there was no cause for, say, hoarding toilet paper at the beginning of the pandemic," Granholm told reporters,"there should be no cause for hoarding gasoline, especially in light of the fact that the pipeline should be substantially operational by the end of this week and over the weekend."
thanks joe and willies girl
In seven years? But when I was in California three years ago it was at least $3.80.
Price is the least of the worry,St Lucie County is out of gas period right now.
We should have a class action lawsuit against Colonial for their failure to have the correct security measures in place and putting our infrastructure at risk. Greed leads to disasters
....amid the Biden presidency. No coincidence prices started rising when he became president.
Anyone surprised by this? Of course not. It took 4 months....
Oh, I'm sorry. We pay around 1.70€ (and more per Liter gasoline)... so right around $8/gal
California resident. Visit any state and we are awestruck by anything lower than 3.89.
Whaaaaaa… 😅
I will drive til I find a gas station under 3$. Which Isn’t very far.
Where at?! I paid 4.80 in CA today!
Conservatives told ya that would happen if Biden was elected...
Still cheap
It’s like 4$ in California all the time, all year round. 🙄
$3 a gallon!! We pay $11,25 per gallon here in the UK!
Californians be like .., WTF!
We told you so.
Miss trump yet people
Gas prices in AZ went from around $2.30/gal to $2.95/gal after the TX blizzard shut down the electrical grid. Grid’s been up for weeks, but prices never dropped back down. Now a gas distribution company fails to protect their system from hackers/consumers end up w/ higher prices
I wish our California gas was $3
A 2 cents added gas tax, will pay for a infrastructure only plan. America is broke, nothing is free, that this myths, that rich people and corporations will cover everything and everything will be free, is a total scam and a lie.
$6 a gallon in CA.
WE ARE STARTING TO SEE HOW SAFE OUR SO CALLED GRATE BIDEN ADMINISTRION
looks like a snow day at the Shell station!
Do you realize how dumb you sound when saying this? California has had $3-$4 gallon since January. When you quote these prices are you looking at Mississippi? Come on.
Do people know that there are manual overrides on this stuff? Let that sink in.
