No relief in sight as energy experts predict record high gas prices<\/p>\n

\"Christopher<\/a>WASHINGTON \u2014<\/p>\n

Gas prices have continued to surge across the United States. According to AAA, the national average as of Friday was $4.47 per gallon<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Energy experts said there are no signs that the climbing costs will slow down. “Easily we’ll see $5 a gallon on gasoline,” energy expert Ed Hirs said. “We’ll have spot shortages across the United States. We could see some pricing well in excess of $6 a gallon, $7 a gallon for gasoline.”<\/p>\n

The rising cost of oil is the primary factor behind the increase, driven by conflict between the U.S. and Iran, along with disruptions in the Middle East.<\/p>\n

Diesel prices also increased alongside gasoline. <\/p>\n

Officials at Brown University estimate that Americans have paid more than $100 billion more<\/a> for gasoline and diesel than they would have without the conflict. This amounts to more than $825 for every U.S. household.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"No relief in sight as energy experts predict record high gas prices WASHINGTON \u2014 Gas prices have continued…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":630069,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[130129,267497,72,267496,2287,63461,160256,24167,113,580,267494,9658,267495,31537,34078,61,151033,60,1196,267492,39429,6000,267493,5797,43199,425,115],"class_list":["post-630068","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-economy","tag-aaa","tag-brown-university-estimate","tag-business","tag-climbing-cost","tag-conflict","tag-diesel","tag-diesel-price","tag-disruption","tag-economy","tag-energy","tag-energy-expert","tag-fuel","tag-gallon","tag-gas-prices","tag-gasoline","tag-ie","tag-iran-war","tag-ireland","tag-middle-east","tag-national-average","tag-official","tag-oil","tag-record-gas-price","tag-relief","tag-sight","tag-u-s","tag-united-states"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/630068","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=630068"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/630068\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/630069"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=630068"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=630068"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=630068"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
