Will the average price of gasoline in the U.S. be above $4.00 per gallon by July 31, 2026?

Warum: Multiple independent, credible sources in the supplied evidence report the U.S. national average gasoline price above $4.00 at the end of July 2026. AAA’s reporting (weekly updates) showed the national average around $4.09–$4.10 (July 30–31), a WSLS article dated July 31, 2026 explicitly states the national average was $4.10 on July 31, and EIA-derived weekly series (as reported via YCharts/Macrotrends) show weekly averages in late July above $4.00 (~$4.10–4.23). These independent reports corroborate that the U.S. average was greater than $4.00/gal on July 31, 2026.
