The national gas price average is at its highest since 2014 and is expected to climb higher, Triple-A reports.

“Road trippers will pay the most to fill up for the holiday since 2014. Today, 89% of U.S. gas stations are selling regular unleaded for $2.75 or more. That is a stark increase over last July 4 when only a quarter of stations were selling gas for more than $2.25,” AAA spokesperson Jeanette McGee stated.

The national average price of gas is $3.11, the highest since October 2014 and Triple-A believes it will increase as much as three to five more cents in the lead-up to the Independence Day holiday weekend.

The national average price of gas in New York is $3.167, according to Triple-A. One year ago the national average of gas was $2.178.
