Gasoline prices in the United States continue to climb after a brief pause, according to AAA data cited by multiple outlets. AAA reports that the average price of regular gasoline rises by about 31 cents over the past week. One report puts the average at $4.48 per gallon on Tuesday, while another cites $4.53 per gallon on Wednesday, with both figures reflecting the same week-over-week increase. The outlets also describe the broader upward trend since the start of the U.S. and Israel’s war against Iran, noting that gasoline prices are up roughly 50% over that period. Several accounts link the continued increase to rising oil market risk associated with the conflict, including Iran’s response of closing the Strait of Hormuz, a major shipping chokepoint for oil and energy supplies. Taken together, the coverage indicates that drivers are facing higher pump prices as weekly averages continue to move upward, with the latest AAA readings placing regular gasoline near the mid-$4 per gallon range.
