The national average price for a gallon of gasoline is $4.25. This figure is 17 cents higher than last week. Prices are up 19 cents from the previous month. The year-over-year increase matches the state level at $1.14. Analysts attribute the rise to geopolitical tensions and supply disruptions.

Friction between the United States and Iran contributed to the price spike. New hostilities in the Red Sea added pressure on shipping routes. The shutdown of Saudi Arabia’s East-West pipeline reduced global supply. Two additional Russian refineries went offline due to recent attacks. These events strain global refined product supplies.
