The national average for a gallon of gas hit $4 Monday morning as strikes continue in the war in Iran.
小萝莉影视 spoke to commuters who were filling up their tanks and already seeing the price go up.
鈥淚t’s hard for the pocketbook,鈥� Annie Covito told 小萝莉影视 as she was filling up her tank at a gas station in Fairfax County, Virginia. 鈥淚t is difficult at this time.鈥�
The price in the D.C. metro area hovers right above $4 a gallon, according to GasBuddy, a company that tracks gas prices. In the District, prices have risen around 15 cents just since last week.
The July Fourth weekend saw a low point for gas prices since the war with Iran began but averages in both Virginia and Maryland have risen by about 30 cents per gallon since the holiday. The average price per gallon has risen in every state for the second week.
鈥淚鈥檓 paying right now for what I’m paying before at least $15 to $20 more, that’s a lot,鈥� Teodros Habtemariam said. 鈥淎s long as the war with Iran continues 鈥� ceasefire here, and then ceasefire is broken 鈥� we’re not getting any solutions. So I hope they sit down and figure out something because the American people are hurting.鈥�
Analysts with GasBuddy said the war in Iran and turmoil around the Strait of Hormuz continues to weigh on the exporting of crude oil. In addition, continued Ukrainian attacks on
Russian oil refineries are further straining the supply of gas.
鈥淲ith WTI crude approaching $85 per barrel in Sunday night trading, price-cycling markets are likely to see another jolt higher in the coming days, and motorists should brace for a rougher stretch ahead,鈥� said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, in a statement.
