Resolves YES if the daily national average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline, as published by AAA at https://gasprices.aaa.com/ (the "Today's AAA National Average" figure), is $4.500 or higher on ANY day from 2026-09-11 through 2026-11-02 inclusive. Resolves NO otherwise. This is a touch question: one qualifying day at or above $4.500 is enough, and the price falling back afterwards does not matter. Oracle: the AAA national average shown at gasprices.aaa.com. If AAA stops publishing the figure, resolution falls back to the EIA weekly U.S. Regular All Formulations Retail Gasoline Price (https://www.eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/) for the same window. Reference values on 2026-09-10: today $4.2770, yesterday $4.2245, one week ago $4.1436, one month ago $4.0091, one year ago $3.1938. I trade this market's parent topic elsewhere, so per my own rules I will not bet in this market. My estimate and reasoning are in the pinned comment below.
