For the second straight week, the nation’s average price of gasoline has increased, rising 9.7 cents compared to last week, and stands at $3.18 per gallon. The national average is unchanged from a month ago and is 23.3 cents per gallon lower than a year ago. “With Israel and Iran trading attacks, oil prices have continued to climb,” said Patrick DeHaan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “Few pumps have been immune, with nearly all states seeing gas prices rise over the past week.” He also said average diesel prices recorded their largest weekly jump since August 2023. After the U.S. launched attacks on Iran, DeHaan expects oil prices to continue trending higher. “That said, I don’t expect the apocalyptic spikes being circulated by some so-called influencers on social media, many of which are wildly inaccurate,” DeHaan said. “For now, drivers should expect a continued steady climb in prices.”
