According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in Modesto was priced at $3.55/gallon on May 10 while the most expensive was $4.39, a difference of 84.0 cents per gallon. The lowest price in the state Monday was $3.28 while the highest was $5.89, a difference of $2.61/gallon.

“While average gas prices jumped last week as the nation continues to see COVID-19 recovery, all eyes are now on the Colonial Pipeline and the fact a cyberattack has completely shut all lines, leading to what could become a major challenge for fuel delivery,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy. “The situation is growing more intense each day that passes without the pipeline restarting, and motorists are advised to show extreme restraint or exacerbate and prolong the challenges.”

The national average price of gasoline has risen 4.5 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $2.95/gallon on May 10. The national average is up 10.0 cents per gallon from a month ago and stands $1.12/gallon higher than a year ago.
