U.S. gasoline prices climbed on Tuesday to their highest level since the Iran war began, reaching a four-year high as the U.S.-Israel war against Iran that began in February continues to unfold and the Strait of Hormuz remains closed.
The national average for a gallon of regular gasoline reached $4.176 on April 28, according to AAA, up from $4.03 just five days earlier. The figure is up $1.19 since late February, when the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran.
