Gas prices set to hit Election Day record in US
Original: Gas prices are set to be highest for any Election Day in U.S. history
Gasoline prices across the United States are on track to reach their highest level ever recorded on an Election Day, according to a Washington Post report. With the midterm vote under way, drivers are paying significantly more at the pump than in any previous national election, a rise driven by high crude oil prices and refining costs. The cost of fuel has become a prominent economic and political issue heading into the vote.
Why now: Rising fuel costs are a top economic concern for voters as they head to the polls.
Rank over time, top of the chart is #1. 3 snapshots from 23 h ago to 19 h ago.
