Gas Prices To Average $2.23 Per Gallon This Summer, Government Says

The Energy Information Administration projected regular-grade gasoline to average $2.23 a gallon during the April-through-September driving season.

WASHINGTON - On Tuesday, the Energy Information Administration projected regular-grade gasoline to average $2.23 a gallon during the April-through-September driving season. The monthly average is likely to peak at $2.30 a gallon.

Last summer, gasoline cost an average of $3.81 a gallon and was above $4 for a period of time. One factor for the expected lower prices is an increase in U.S. crude oil production, which has not happened since 1991.
