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/.

Ample global crude supply growth, elevated refinery utilization outside California, and above-average natural gas inventories supporting power-sector demand have tempered upside pressure in recent weeks, while regional factors such as West Coast refinery closures continue to widen basis differentials. With August drawing to a close, trader focus centers on near-term crude benchmarks, inventory reports, and any weather-driven demand shifts that could alter the final monthly settlement relative to the market threshold.
