A year ago, average national gas prices hovered around $3 per gallon. This month, gas stations across the country displayed the highest average prices ever recorded.⁠
⁠
In some areas of the country, average gas prices nearly reached $6.50 per gallon. In the Durham-Chapel Hill area, average gas prices reached a record-high $4.68 on June 11.⁠
⁠
Zack Johnson, a rising UNC senior who commutes to Raleigh twice a week for his sales internship at Red Hat, said he spends about $150 on gas each month, despite carpooling with another intern.⁠
⁠
Along with individuals, public transportation is also affected by the rise in prices. Chapel Hill Transit has largely avoided the gas price hike so far, having negotiated a gas price deal during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. According to Chapel Hill Transit Director Brian Litchfield, that deal runs through the end of the year.⁠
