(Washington, DC) – Energy Secretary Chris Wright is expressing optimism that gas prices will fall below three-dollars a gallon by summer. Wright made the prediction on NBC’s “Meet The Press” as Americans pay steep prices at the gas pump as a result of the conflict in Iran.
Wright added that the U.S. will have removed the risk of Iran’s threat on global energy supplies in a few more weeks.
It comes as Triple-A says the current price for a gallon of regular gas in the U.S. is around three dollars and 70 cents on average. That’s up about 25 cents from last week. California is paying the highest average at the pump at five-dollars-and-50 cents a gallon, while Kansas is the lowest at three-dollars-and 13 cents.
