Lifestyle & CultureUS Average Gas Price Rises to $4.46 Per Gallon, Threatening Record High
Affected by the Strait of Hormuz crisis, the US national average gasoline price rose to $4.46 per gallon on Monday, far above the pre-war level of $2.98.
According to data from the American Automobile Association, the average US nationwide gasoline price on Monday reached $4.46 per gallon. This is far higher than the pre-conflict price of $2.98 per gallon before the Middle East war broke out. If the Strait of Hormuz has not reopened by next month, US gasoline prices could exceed $5 per gallon. This will nearly approach the record high price of $5.02 per gallon set in June 2022. Some states' diesel prices have already set new records, such as Illinois where diesel reached $6 per gallon. High oil prices have put pressure on many American households, and the government is seeking solutions.
