Strikes on Iran could push US gas prices well above $3, analysts warn

8 months ago by dude to c/news

Analysts say U.S. gas prices could surge past $3 a gallon if strikes on Iran disrupt global oil supplies, especially through the Strait of Hormuz.

Well above $3? It already been at $4 or more for parts of the country for quite a while

No Trump said it was $1.85 a gallon in the state of the union speech.

I don't know what sort of fuel filled rock you're from but here in the PNW gas is between $4 and $5 bucks. $3 dollar gas has long been history.

Looks like California, Oregon and Washington are the outliers. Everywhere else in the US gas is about $3/gallon.

Glad I filled up Thursday. Now I just have to figure out how much gas I can afford in 2 weeks.

So glad I just did the switch to an EV. Some places even have free charging for a few hours.

Same. At-home charging and buying an EV have somewhat large upfront costs, but it has saved me so much money in the long run. And many people don’t understand that gas isn’t the only thing it saves on, but also maintance like oil changes, transmission, and breaks (due to regenerative breaking).
