Gas prices since the outbreak of the Iran war have hit a new record high, with the average price per gallon in the U.S. costing consumers nearly $4.23, according to AAA.
Overall, gas prices have risen by nearly 150 percent since the war began in late February. Wednesday’s figure tops a similar record set the day before and marks the highest prices at the pump for U.S. consumers since April 2022, when Russia invaded Ukraine.
