"Oil prices have surged to over $100 a barrel or more since the war began, raising the prices that consumers pay when they fill up. The national average now rests at $4.018 for regular gas, $4.541 for mid-grade, $4.904 for premium, and $5.454 for diesel."
"48% of Americans blame President Trump and his administration for the gas price surge, per a Morning Consult poll earlier this month. 87% of those polled by Reuters/Ipsos say they expect gas prices to increase as the war drags on."
Approximately 20% of the world's oil supply passes through the Strait. Since the onset of the war, oil prices have risen above $100 a barrel, leading to increased consumer gas prices. The national average for regular gas is now $4.018, with higher prices on the West Coast, particularly in California at $5.887. A significant portion of Americans blame President Trump for the surge in gas prices, while many expect further increases as the conflict continues.
