If you’ve filled up your gas tank recently, you’ve probably noticed—gas is getting more expensive. As of Monday, the average price in New Hampshire was $3.35 per gallon, up about 50 cents from the previous week. Across the US, prices have jumped too, with the national average hitting $3.48, according to AAA.
Within New Hampshire, prices vary by county: Strafford has the highest at $3.43, Belknap follows at $3.41, and Sullivan is the cheapest at $3.23.
Why the spike?
Oil prices are climbing as tensions in the Middle East escalate. Uncertainty around oil and natural gas production and transport is what’s pushing prices higher.
