US Gas Prices Hit $4 a Gallon Again Amid Iran War

Gas prices in the United States have surged back to an average of $4 a gallon, driven by escalating tensions in the Iran war. As American troops face casualties and Tehran retaliates against Gulf states, the conflict is disrupting global oil supplies. This spike in fuel costs adds to the economic strain on American families just as inflation remains a critical concern heading into the 2026 election cycle.

The US bombing of Iran expands as American troops killed and Tehran retaliates against the Gulf states.

    Crazy how cheap gasoline is in USA. $4 is still basically half as much as anywhere in Europe even when there isn't a war.

    That is 0.923 Euros a Liter according to Google.

    That's dirt cheap.

    It should be $200 per gallon, we need to reduce depenency on petrol!

    I wonder what happens to that gas price once the SPR can no longer be drawn from?

    Where are they getting it? Four weeks ago, the president said that in four weeks the country would run out of oil. Russia already ran out of gasoline.

    Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

    Also will be interesting what happens when the SPR runs out.
