Gasoline has become more expensive in America by 37% in the shadow of the anti-Iranian war in the mid-term elections. Since Trump took office, the price of gasoline in the United States has risen by about $1.16 per liter (equivalent to 37 percent); The increase was caused by the war against Iran and the disturbances in the Strait of Hormuz. On January 20, 2025, the average price of regular gasoline was $3.11. After the US and Israeli attacks on Iran in late February, prices jumped to a high of $4.50 in May. Prices fell after a peace deal was reached in June, but rose again after the deal collapsed. Currently, the average weekly price is $4.27, a day before the Nov. 3 midterm elections.
