“the national average gas price has climbed to $4.52 per gallon, up $1.38 from this time one year ago.”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
While web search results mention gas prices, they do not confirm a national average of $4.52 specifically as an increase of $1.38 from the previous year. One source mentions Vermont prices at $4.52, and another mentions a national average of $4.54, but these do not corroborate the specific claim as a national average trend.
