The cost for a gallon of gas in the United States continues to reach all-time highs, as the national average jumped nearly 7 cents Thursday morning.
The nationwide average for regular gas is now $4.32 a gallon, once again eclipsing the previous all-time record of $4.11 set in July 2008. When adjusted for inflation, that would be around $5.25 today.
Diesel prices are also at record highs, with the average cost at $5.06 a gallon, up nearly 18cents from Wednesday’s average of $4.88. Thursday is the first time diesel has ever been over $5. Before this week, the previous record of $4.84 was also in July 2008, which would be around $6.19 in today’s dollars.
