Will Gas Really Reach $8 a Gallon?
“$8 gas”
Summary
Nationwide gasoline prices in the United States are hovering between $3.5 and $3.8 per gallon, with occasional stations exceeding $5 but none reaching $8. No credible data from government, news, or fact‑checking outlets show any gas station selling gasoline at $8 a gallon. The claim of "$8 gas" is therefore inaccurate.

Not a single one of the nation’s 150,000 stations is selling gasoline for $8 a gallon. Because some stations are charging more than $5 a gallon, the claim contains an element of truth.
