According to data from the American Automobile Association, on April 4th local time, the average price of gasoline in the United States rose to $4.10 per gallon, an increase of 12 cents from the previous week. Since the U.S. launched strikes against Iran on February 28th, gasoline prices have increased by 37%. The rise in oil prices is mainly due to the near closure of the Strait of Hormuz and a decrease in oil production in the Middle East. California has the highest average gasoline price in the United States, at nearly $5.92 per gallon, while Oklahoma has the lowest at $3.29.
