All 50 states have average gas prices above $4 a gallon, AAA said Wednesday, with seven now topping $5 a gallon.
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.
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.
The average price of a gallon of gas is up 53% since the war started.
There are signs that things could get much worse.
Widely watched GasBuddy analyst Patrick De Haan said Wednesday morning that the national average could hit an all-time record north of $5.03 per gallon if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed through mid-summer.

An accomplishment for the Trump administration
They say that it is worth it to stop Iran from getting a nuclear bomb
If we didn’t do away the Obama deal and started this war, we wouldn’t be here
Guess we are winning a lot now
MOAR
Those are rookie numbers. We gotta pump those up.

Cool, DOW rose 350 points since Trump said “war is ending soon” for the 50x time.
I bought a Chevy Volt in 2023 when the full scale Russia invasion of Ukraine was somewhat new. It was the right decision from then until now.
It’s amazing to me that we had a whole public investment strategy to get more Americans in EVs during a period of high fuel prices and people just rejected it. And now they will get ripped off to just drive around town.
