Open original source ↗I use the AAA data back to 2004 and get exactly the same thing.
Since 2004, only two years have seen higher gasoline prices after March 17
* 2022 (red) = the year of 9% inflation (June 2022)
*2008 (orange) = the year of the all-time high in WTI prices ($147 in July 2008) https://t.co/Ekmb2Ha7wN
If the war is not resolved, 2026 prices (black) will probably trend sideways for the rest of the year and "separate" at a much higher level into the fall/winter.
My guess is drivers will notice.

BREAKING: the national average is now at its highest ever level this late in the calendar year, according to GasBuddy data. Meaning the national average has never been above $4/gal after Aug. 12 in any previous year- ever.
