Average U.S. retail gasoline prices crossed $3 a gallon for the first time since November on Monday as the conflict in the Middle East worsened, setting up a key test of public approval of President Donald Trump’s decision to attack Iran, analysts said.
Tehran’s retaliation in response to U.S. and Israeli strikes has disrupted global oil supply, as it hit production facilities in neighboring countries and ships in the Strait of Hormuz, a key global trade route. Oil prices have surged, with Brent crude rising more than 5% to nearly $77 per barrel, and fuel prices moving up in tandem with the feedstock costs.
Bitch, I haven’t seen $3 gas in a decade.
Hello California
Oh, bohoo. Those American gas guzzler riders would probably have a nervous breakdown at a European fuel station.
Yup, it jumped from. $2.90 to $3.50 near me today. I knew this would happen, glad I filled up yesterday.
I haven’t seen gas under $3 since Biden was around
Really hoping it gets up to $10 a gallon. Fuck all the SUV owners and the AI companies.
Uh, do you realize that with costs like that EVERYTHING will get more expensive? Every single good you buy anywhere has fuel costs baked into their price.
Yup. But its not a flat increase, some things travel further others more efficiently. Like where I live it might affect banana costs more than apple costs.
Hmm.
I own a 2015 Hyundai Sonata (base model) which is a sedan, not an SUV. The gas tank capacity is 18 gallons.
I also own a 2025 Subaru Forester (Premium model), which is an SUV and has a gas tank capacity of approximately 17 gallons.
Difference is roughly the same between a sedan and an SUV and both use 87 octane.
A Suburban has a 30 gallon tank, a Ford F-150 has an almost 40 gallon tank. They ain’t talking about your crossover.
My point is they specifically called out SUVs and only SUVs. You are making my point right here that the issue isn’t SUVs but likely size and efficiency of the vehicle. I just thought calling out only SUVs was a weird broad criticism.
huh, my car has an 8 gallon tank. the standard isn’t tank size, it’s that you can drive it 400 miles
Price of fuel in the USA always shocks me. Closer to $8 a gallon here in the uk.
That’s $1.08/L CAD. Think about that Canadians. They are complaining because their gas went up to $1.08/L 😆😅. Fuckers have no idea how good they have it. And kinda puts a spotlight on how things are here in Canada…4th largest oil producer in the world 🙄
Nice bit of sunshine today where I live, so I’ll charge our EV with surplus power from our solar panels. 🤣
Welcome to California suckers!
Actually I’m still paying nearly $5, but everyone is catching up.
I suspect we will continue outrunning them though.
What’s always funny is that pipeline interruptions don’t really affect supply for many weeks. This is just panic pricing.
And as always, prices go up instantly but takes months to drop back down.
Didn’t Trump take over Venezuela to bring oil below $55?
I wonder what the price would be without subsidies.
Hahaha makes his SOTU bit about cheap gas ring even more hollow.
Keep in mind that in some countries, fuel is 3 dollars per litre.
