This market will resolve to "Yes" if on any day between market creation and August 31, 2026, the average US regular gas price is equal to or above the listed price. Otherwise, the market will resolve to "No". Only the first two decimal digits of the reported price will be considered (e.g., if the price is reported as $3.257, this market will use $3.25 as the price). The resolution source for this market will be information from the American Automobile Association (AAA), presently found here: https://gasprices.aaa.com/.

Specifically, the cell under "Regular" and for the row "Current Avg".Elevated crude oil prices near $84 per barrel, sustained by volatility in the Strait of Hormuz, have anchored U.S. regular gasoline averages at $4.08–$4.10 per gallon through late August 2026 according to AAA and EIA data. Strong seasonal demand, refinery utilization above 90%, and inventory draws have supported these levels, positioning August to set a record monthly average above $4. Trader consensus on Polymarket reflects limited scope for further spikes before the August 31 resolution, with implied probabilities for thresholds above current prices remaining low amid stable supply fundamentals and no immediate catalysts. Upcoming EIA inventory reports and any last-minute geopolitical shifts represent the primary near-term variables.
