U.S. retail gas prices have jumped above $3 a gallon, highest in over 6 years

U.S. gasoline prices topped $3 a gallon on Wednesday for the first time in about six-and-a-half years — and it wasn’t because of the Colonial Pipeline shutdown, according to GasBuddy.

The $3 price was likely even without the pipeline outage, but it probably “accelerated it” by a few days or weeks, Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, told MarketWatch.
