National average for a gallon of gas could reach $6 this summer, report says

Are you planning a summer roadtrip?

DETROIT – Gas prices are soaring, but just how high will they go?

According to a new report by J.P. Morgan Chase, the national average could reach $6.20 per gallon very soon.

Currently, people are paying about $4.30 per gallon.

If gas reaches $6.20 per gallon, and you average about 20 miles per gallon, a trip from Detroit to Traverse City will cost $79.

If you’re heading out of state, a trip to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee will cost you $170.

If you have a cross-country road trip to the Grand Canyon planned, it’ll cost you around $612.

So, what can you do to help out with what could be a big price jump in the future? Set a budget and prepare immediately.

Watch the video above for the full report.
