EIA expects summer U.S. real gasoline and diesel prices to be the highest since 2014

In our Summer Fuels Outlook, a supplement to our April 2022 Short-Term Energy Outlook, we expect retail gasoline prices to average $3.84 per gallon (gal) this summer driving season, April through September, compared with last summer's average price of $3.06/gal. After adjusting for inflation, this summer's forecast national average price would mark the highest retail gasoline and diesel prices since 2014.
