U.S. oil prices rise to $4.1 per gallon, up 37% since the outbreak of the Iran war

Golden Ten Data reported on April 4th that, according to the American Automobile Association (AAA), on April 4th local time, the average gasoline price in the United States rose to $4.10 per gallon, an increase of 12 cents compared to last week. Since the U.S. and Israel launched strikes against Iran on February 28th, gasoline prices have risen by 37%. The increase in oil prices is mainly due to the near-closure of the Strait of Hormuz and a decline in oil production in the Middle East. California has the highest average gasoline price in the country, nearing $5.92 per gallon, while Oklahoma has the lowest at $3.29.
