Gas prices in the U.S. have surged back to an average of $4 per gallon as tensions between the U.S. and Iran escalate, leading to more attacks. This increase marks a significant rise from last year’s average of $3.14 per gallon. The national average reflects a range of prices across different states, influenced by factors such as local supply and tax rates. The global conflict has also contributed to high gas prices worldwide. Previously, prices had dipped below $4 in mid-June following an interim deal between the U.S. and Iran, but they have risen again as the threat of war looms. The cost of crude oil has similarly increased, with Brent crude reaching $90.95 per barrel and U.S. crude at $84.04 per barrel.
