Average Gas Price Rises Slightly on Election Day

Election Day brought a slight increase in the average gas price in the U.S.

AAA reported Tuesday morning that the average price for a gallon of regular gas was $3.102, a slight increase from Monday’s price of $3.101.

Tuesday’s price is less expensive than a week ago, when the average price for regular gas was $3.134 per gallon, and a month ago, when it was $3.177.

Nevertheless, gas prices remain higher than when former President Donald Trump was in office, the Washington Examiner reported.

The average regular gas price in the seven battleground states expected to decide the outcome of the presidential election between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are:

Arizona: $3.218
Georgia: $2.932
Michigan: $3.128
Nevada: $3.773
North Carolina: $2.891
Pennsylvania: $3.307
Wisconsin: $2.845
