We had a brief reprieve from higher gas prices. However, with the ongoing Iranian conflict, gas prices are starting to rise again. The national average for gas is around $4 per gallon, according to AAA, with California drivers paying nearly $5.50 per gallon.
Unless there's an Iranian resolution soon, these prices will remain higher. The good news is that while you can't control prices, you might be able to lower fuel costs in other ways.
