The fuel cost experts at GasBuddy are projecting higher gas prices in 2018.
A new report from GasBuddy predicts a 19-cent increase in the average price of a gallon of gas in the U.S.
GasBuddy’s forecast does not expect any record-breaking prices to be set in 2018, and expects most of the country to see prices peak under $3 per gallon, but GasBuddy says unexpected disruptions could push the national average close to $3.
According to GasBuddy’s report, the nation’s yearly gasoline bill will rise to $364.6 billion dollars, some $25 billion higher than what motorists spent last year as the average household sees their yearly gasoline bill rise to $1,898, up from $1,765 in 2017.
GasBuddy regularly reports that the average cost of gasoline in Tulsa is cheaper than the national average. That will likely ring true in 2018 as well.
