Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said prices could climb further in the coming days, possibly reaching between $4.20 to $4.35 per gallon nationally. He cited wholesale cost surges, price‑cycling markets, climbing diesel prices and geopolitical tensions between the United States and Iran impacting global oil flows.
“Until the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz occurs, the risk of further increases remains firmly in place,” De Haan said.
