📸 Gasoline prices in the US have risen by about $1.16 per gallon, or 37%, since Trump took office, driven by the Iran war and the disruption in the Strait of Hormuz.
Regular gasoline averaged $3.11 on January 20, 2025.
It surged after the US-Israel strikes on Iran in late February and reached a high of $4.50 in May.
Prices fell after the June peace accord but climbed again when it collapsed.
The latest weekly average is $4.27, the day before the November 3 deadline.
