What year was gas 76 a gallon?

Gas prices varied significantly over the years, but in the U.S., the national average for regular gasoline reached around $76 a gallon during the extreme inflation period in 2022, particularly due to geopolitical tensions and supply chain issues. However, this price was not common and was only seen in certain areas or at specific times. Historically, gas prices have never reached such a high average until recent years.
