The nation’s average price of gasoline has risen 17.2 cents over the last week and stands at $4.25 per gallon, according to GasBuddy® data compiled from more than 12 million individual price reports covering over 150,000 gas stations across the country. The national average is up 19.0 cents from a month ago and is $1.14 per gallon higher than a year ago. The national average price of diesel rose 31.6 cents in the last week and stands at $6.183 per gallon.

“Average gasoline and diesel prices rose in every state over the last week as geopolitical tensions escalated on multiple fronts, with friction between the U.S. and Iran, new hostilities in the Red Sea, and the shutdown of Saudi Arabia’s East-West pipeline all combining to jolt prices sharply higher,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “New weekend attacks also knocked two additional Russian refineries offline, further straining global refined product supplies and likely offsetting any seasonal relief. Diesel prices could climb even faster in the wake of the new refinery attacks. While most of the country transitions to cheaper winter-blend gasoline this week, the scale of ongoing geopolitical escalations makes meaningful price relief unlikely in the near term.”

In early Monday trade, WTI was up $3.18 to $103.23 per barrel, well above last Monday’s $93.65, while Brent gained $3.68 to $108.29 compared to $98.52 a week ago—both benchmarks now at four-month highs and closing in on the $114 peak hit in March, with the IEA warning that surging prices have already triggered the largest contraction in global oil demand since the Covid pandemic.
