BusinessUS Average Gasoline Price Tops 4 Dollars Per Gallon for First Time Since 2022 as Iran War Drives Surge
US average gasoline prices surpassed 4 dollars per gallon on March 31 for the first time since 2022, driven by the Iran war closing the Strait of Hormuz. Analysts warn prices could rise further if the conflict continues.
US gasoline prices have risen significantly. On March 31, the average US gasoline price exceeded $4 per gallon. This represents the highest price since 2022. The US-Iran war is the primary reason for the price increase. The Hormuz Strait has been closed, preventing oil from passing through. Gasoline prices have risen more than 30% from pre-war levels. Many American families feel significant financial pressure. Experts say if the war continues, prices may go even higher.
