GasBuddy: Gas has never been this high, this late in any calendar year
World3 sources1 country🔦 Under-reported3m ago
Gasoline prices in the United States reached unprecedented levels for this time of the calendar year, according to data from fuel rate tracker GasBuddy. Patrick De Haan, the organization's head of petroleum analysis, announced via social media that the national average price of gasoline surpassed $4 a gallon after August 12, marking a historic high so late in the year.
This record-breaking price surge follows months of significant turbulence in global oil markets. The instability has been driven by the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz amid the ongoing conflict involving Iran.
