Gas Prices Surge Back to Record Highs | Fayetteville Arkansas News

Gas prices are surging back to record highs in August, hitting $4.06 nationwide — way above seasonal norms. The spike is driven by global conflicts keeping crude oil expensive, but diesel is hit hardest due to attacks on refining infrastructure. With millions still driving diesel-powered vehicles — more than electric cars — the impact is widespread. States like California, Hawaii, and Washington are already seeing gas over $5 a gallon, while diesel nears $7. Winter-blend fuel might offer slight relief next month, but underlying issues won’t ease soon — expect prices to keep climbing.
