(Dallas, TX) – Gas experts are predicting the most expensive summer at the pump in years. GasBuddy has released its Summer Travel Survey for 2026, and it forecasts an average price of four-dollars-and-80-cents per gallon from Memorial Day through Labor Day. The fuel savings platform says the price of gas could reach all-time highs if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed for much of the summer.
Despite the costs, the survey results show 56 percent of Americans still plan to drive more than two hours this summer to reach their preferred destinations. That’s down from 69 percent last summer.
