The hits just keep coming.

For the first time in history, the national average for a gallon of gasoline has topped $5, another grim milestone as rampant inflation continues to punish consumers.

The AAA motor club reported Saturday that the average price for a regular gallon of gasoline reached a whopping $5.004, up 19 cents from just last week and $1.93 from this time last year.

The summer months usually drive up gas prices as Americans typically start using vehicles more around Memorial Day weekend.

However, this year oil prices are really through the roof, largely due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and sanctions that have resulted from it.

California has the highest average price, at $6.43, according to AAA. New York is $5.03. The lowest average is Mississippi, at $4.52.
