How much more are you paying at the pump because of Iran war?
USA TODAY
As of March 11, every U.S. state recorded higher prices for regular gasoline compared to one month earlier.
Americans are paying more at the pump as gas prices have jumped in every state following the U.S.-Israeli airstrikes on Iran that began on February 28. Iran retaliated by closing the Strait of Hormuz, disrupting global oil trade.
As of March 11, every U.S. state recorded higher prices for regular gasoline compared to one month earlier, according to AAA data, ranging from 30 cents higher in Hawaii to 87 cents higher in Arizona.
Nationally, average prices reached $3.58 per gallon, 23% higher than the previous month. This monthly spike ranks as the 9th-largest since 2020, according to a USA TODAY analysis of AAA data using a 30-day rolling window.
USA TODAY previously reported that consumers begin to feel financial pressure when gas prices reach $3.50 per gallon.
Prices are expected to rise further as the conflict continues, driven by supply constraints and broader economic uncertainty.
