Average U.S. gas prices are now the highest they’ve been since America and Israel attacked Iran
Today marks 60 days since the start of the Iran war, and the average price of a gallon of gas in the U.S. is the highest it’s been since the beginning of the conflict.
The national average price of a gallon of gas increased 8% – nearly $0.40 – in the past month, from $4.06 to $4.39, according to data from the national motor club AAA.
Since the last week of February, right before the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran, the difference is more staggering. The average cost of a gallon of gas today is 50% more – nearly $1.50 higher – than it was in the week directly before the war on Iran began.
While increases slowed in April, the average cost of a gallon of gas has still been inching higher. Residents in Ohio, Michigan and Indiana saw gas prices rise by over 20% since last week alone, while states like Florida and Arizona are reporting a weekly increase as well.
Gas prices are unlikely to return to pre-war levels. Amid a U.S. naval blockade, traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is still blocked, the BBC reports.
