As Spring Equinox Arrives, Gas Prices Continue to Climb

Washington, D.C.–Tomorrow marks the official start of Spring and prices at the pump continued to climb by 28 cents since last week. With the Spring equinox ushering in warmer weather and more time on the road, gas prices are trending upward alongside seasonal demand. Last week’s announcement by the White House to release 172 million barrels of oil from the U.S. strategic reserves over four months has no immediate relief on the oil market as the price of a barrel of crude continues to climb.   

The national average per kilowatt hour of electricity at a public EV charging station remained the same this past week at 41 cents.
