All 50 states have average gas prices above $4 a gallon, AAA said Wednesday, with seven now topping $5 a gallon.

Why it matters: As the war with Iran approaches the three-month mark, soaring fuel prices are costing Americans millions of dollars a day, crushing small business profits, and driving a surge in inflation.

Driving the news: The national average now stands at $4.56 a gallon, AAA said.

California is the nation's high, at $6.15 per gallon, while Georgia is the lowest at $4.01 a gallon.

Some southern states had been holding the line at $3.98 or $3.99 a gallon in recent days.

Stunning stat: The average price of a gallon of gas is up 53% since the war started.

When I was downtown in Philly Monday afternoon, the Lukoil down there (which is near the historic area and I-95) was something ridiculous like $5.59/gal (they are always high due to the location).

3. Define "linger"?

Is the war over? Is Hormuz open?

5. If you ask Trump, he's won this war four five times already.

4. And Maga says, "thank you sir may we have another"

Expect to be in a recession this time next year.

7. $6.25 a gallon for generic regular in San Diego county. More expensive for Shell, etc & rising. Thanks GOP......

8. $4.13 today on the Texas Coast

9. And that's high for that area.

10. It's not just gasoline, we're also talking diesel, jet fuel, and home heating fuel.

And there are thousands of petroleum based products that will also see higher prices.
But Donnie Dumbass doesn't have to concern himself with that. As president, he doesn't pay for any of that stuff.
His only concerns are ways to acquire more money, and get his name on buildings, roads, monuments; anything to create a lasting testimonial to his greatness.

I think there should be a Federal Prison named after him. How about Trumpcatraz?

12. I either heard something on the radio or saw an article

where they said that refineries are now prioritizing refining of jet fuel, which may eventually lead to shortages of gasoline (and other petroleum products).

13. +1. And motor oil and other lubricating fluids

11. Linger in the headline is an apologetic, complicit substitute for mushroom, expand, or burgeoning

[Tripper11]

14. Drove by one of our "cheap" gas stations in Seattle

$6.09/g
Which if they are over 6, everyone is now over 6. I have send in the past week Chevron's clocking in at $6.59

And I have no doubt that if/when this stupid war ends, it's won't make a difference. The prices may drop, but they won't go back to what they were before the war, despite it being expensive then!

15. costco honolulu $4.99/gal

16. Paid 6.09 today

Costco was 5.89 a couple of days ago but I didn’t feel like driving over there to save a buck. I only needed 4 gallons to fill up anyway. So glad I have a hybrid.

We were in Europe last month. Gas was between $9-10 a gallon. This is really a global disaster.
