U.S. Gas Prices Hit Lowest Point Since 2022

By May 2023, regular gasoline was being sold at $ 2.89 per gallon, the lowest since March 2023, which in turn has put a smile on the faces of drivers across the US. The primary contributor towards this is an increase in domestic oil production and a decline in global demand that enables a 15 % reduction in prices in the previous quarter. This energy was reported by the Information Administration (EIA).

  The U.S. border policy debate entered a critical new phase this week as a Senate committee advanced a rare bipartisan package aimed at addressing security concerns while avoiding the political landmines that have derailed past efforts.
