The national average for gasoline reached $3.20 per gallon according to AAA data, marking a 22-cent increase from the previous week. Diesel fuel, crucial for commercial transportation, has surpassed $4 per gallon for the first time in nearly two years. The price increases stem from oil market volatility tied to the ongoing conflict’s proximity to the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway between Iran and the Arabian Peninsula.
