   Gas prices hit a new record high on Sunday, climbing to a   
   national average of $5.01 for a gallon of gas, according to AAA.   
      
   The average spiked about 16 cents from last week as summer   
   rolled in and Americans started driving more for vacations,   
   trips and outings.   
      
   Around this time last year, the national average for a gallon of   
   gas was $3.07, according to AAA.   
      
   Americans have watched prices at the pump soar since 2021 and   
   then accelerate this year after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.   
      
   Now, gas prices have shattered records. In California, the   
   average for a gallon of gas climbed to $6.43 on Sunday, the   
   highest in the country.   
      
   Even states with typically lower averages, such as Texas and   
   Mississippi, are seeing gas prices inch past $4.50 per gallon.   
      
   The latest record comes after inflation hit a 40-year high in   
   May, driven by increases in government spending during the   
   pandemic, international turmoil, disrupted supply chains and   
   increased consumer demand in a period of post-COVID-19   
   restrictions.   
      
   The Biden administration has taken the brunt of the blame for   
   much of the rising prices, with President Biden’s approval   
   rating hitting historic lows last week in several polls.   
      
   Biden, however, has maintained the economy can recover because   
   of strong job growth and low unemployment rates, a claim he   
   repeated during an interview Wednesday on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel   
   Live!”   
      
   “Inflation is the bane of our existence,” Biden said, adding   
   that “we have the fastest growing economy in the world.”
