(January 26, 2024) WASHINGTON, D.C. — After making a brief weekend trip to $3.07, the national average for gas edged higher by one penny since last week to $3.10.

(January 23, 2024) Automobiles play a prominent role in American history, often portrayed as symbols of the American dream itself — and for good reason. They represent mobility.
