U.S. gasoline prices rose ahead of the Memorial Day weekend, the traditional start of summer driving season. The increase comes as travelers prepare for increased road travel over the holiday period.
National average prices for regular gasoline reached levels higher than those recorded earlier in the month, according to data cited by Politico. The price change follows developments in global energy markets that have affected supply and cost structures.
Politico reported that the price movement adds pressure for President Donald Trump's party during the holiday period. The article noted that Memorial Day traditionally marks the beginning of peak summer travel months.
