With Memorial Day right around the corner, gas prices reach 7-year high

With tens of million of drivers expected to hit the road this Memorial Day weekend, none of them will be thrilled to see that the price of gas is at its highest price in nearly a decade.

According to AAA, gas prices are up 58% from a year ago with an average gallon costing drivers $3.04.

Gas prices in the United States soared earlier this month after the Colonial Pipeline, the East Coast’s primary gasoline supply line fell victim to a ransomware attack that took its operations offline for six days.
