Gas prices could surge toward $7 a gallon in some US states in 2023, according to GasBuddy.
It could be expensive," said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at the firm, which tracks fuel costs, in its 2023 fuel outlook.
Cities in the West Coast state of California, such as San Francisco and Los Angeles, could see gas prices approach nearly $7 a gallon in the summer of 2023, according to GasBuddy.
That means 2022 will close with a yearly national average for gasoline of $3.95 a gallon, the highest yearly average recorded, De Haan tweeted.
As China has reopened, oil prices have rebounded," he said in a Friday interview on CNBC.
