Gas Prices Surge To 7-Year High

While energy demand has started to recover as pandemic restrictions ease, supply isn't keeping up.

If you've had to fill up lately, we don't have to tell you gas prices have nearly doubled in the past 17 months. In fact, the national average price has hit a seven-year high. 

AAA says a gallon of unleaded gas averages $3.27 nationwide. That is up seven cents just last week. 

Natural gas has also soared. The U.S. Energy Information Administration says prices are up 180% over the past year.
