Tens of millions of Americans are expected to travel for the Fourth of July holiday weekend, but they will encounter the highest gas prices in nearly a decade and empty gas pumps.
The national average price for a gallon of gas is currently $3.10, the highest average since October 2014. While there hasn’t been much of a recent rise (the average is up 2% from Memorial Day) the average price is up 42% compared to last year when the pandemic kept Americans indoors.
However, the empty gas stations and pumps have little to do with the gas price, supply, or demand, which is largely unchanged from 2019. The main reason has to do with a truck driver shortage combined with a huge demand, which is creating supply chain issues and shortages.
