Gas Prices

Rare November Hurricane Plays the Skunk at Pump Price Picnic

By: Andrew Gross

WASHINGTON, D.C. (November 7, 2024)—Faced with a rare November hurricane churning in the gulf, the national average for a gallon of gas only fell by three cents since last week to $3.10.

“Gas prices often freeze as a hurricane enters the gulf and oil production and refining are threatened,” said Andrew Gross, AAA spokesperson. “But once Hurricane Rafael passes, pump prices should soon regain their downward momentum.”

AAA tracks the average kilowatt-per-hour cost for all levels of public charging by state. Today’s national average for a kilowatt of electricity at a public charging station stayed at 34 cents.
