“Consumers continue to feel the sting of rising oil, gasoline and diesel costs as geopolitical tensions in the Middle East remain elevated, pushing gasoline prices to their highest levels in years while diesel could soon approach the $5-per-gallon mark nationally,” said Patrick De Haan, GasBuddy’s head of petroleum analysis.
De Haan cited ongoing disruptions to oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz and seasonal transitions to summer gasoline as contributing factors, warning that upward pressure could continue in the coming weeks.
