Gasoline prices are still rising as the Iran war stretches into its third week

U.S. gasoline prices have surged nearly 80 cents per gallon over the past month as the Iran war enters its third week. Diesel prices have climbed even more dramatically, rising $1.34 to just under $5 per gallon, according to AAA data. The fuel price increases are directly tied to the ongoing military conflict involving Iran, which has disrupted global energy markets. American drivers are now paying significantly more at the pump, with diesel costs approaching the $5 threshold that typically signals broader economic pressure on transportation and shipping industries.
