Average US pump prices have climbed past $4 a gallon (3.78 litres) for the first time in more than three years, Reuters reported, citing data from price‑tracking service GasBuddy.
Since the US‑Israel war on Iran began on 28 February, national retail gasoline prices have surged by about $1.06 a gallon, or 36 percent.
The $4 milestone was last reached in August 2022, following Russia’s full‑scale invasion of Ukraine.
During his 2022 presidential campaign, US President Donald Trump had pledged to lower energy costs and expand US oil and gas production.
