US gas prices have hit a new high of $4.71, just a day after hitting the record as seven states top off at $5 a gallon as inflation soars.

The national average jumped four cents overnight, leaving drivers in even more despair as gas prices continue to skyrocket emptying their wallets.

For the first time in history, the average price has exceeded $4.00 in all 50 states – by a longshot.

At the White House on Wednesday, President Joe Biden said, ‘There’s a lot going on right now but the idea we’re going to be able to click a switch, bring down the cost of gasoline, is not likely in the near term. Nor is it with regard to food.’

The west coast has been hit the hardest with the biggest sticker shocks in California and Nevada, which continue to lead the nation with the highest gas costs.

California is the only state with an average over $6, with some heavily populated areas, like Los Angeles, seeing up to $8 at the pump. Nevada averages $5.36, while Hawaii, Washington, and Oregon average in the $5.20s.

Georgia and Arkansas lead for the cheapest average of $4.19 and $4.23 a gallon, respectively.

The northeastern part of the US can expect to be just under $5, with many only pennies away from hitting the mark.
