On a national level, the average gas price stood at $3.80 per gallon, showing a 16-cent increase compared to the previous week. The week before that, the national average had risen by three cents.
According to AAA, the significant jump in gas prices can be attributed to a 15% rise in oil prices during July. Additionally, the extreme heat experienced in various parts of the country has led to lower production volumes at several oil refineries.
