are talk about $4. that s right. we re closing out the year and gas prices are inching up. that will be a segue for 2022. the yearly national average this year was $3.02 a gallon. next year it s going to be higher, nearly 40 cents. we forecast the average at $3.41 with the potential that the national average could reach $4 a gallon. for those in california, they could see $5, even into the mid $5 range. jackie: what kind of timeline are we looking at here? we had this conversation yesterday about gas prices and how it s impacting the average consumer. there could be more pain ahead. we have mid-terms next year. the peak of the season is usually july 4. is that the way you re looking at this? generally what we see in a normal year, gas prices peak around the same time for summer
