Gas Prices Jump to $4.39 as Iran War Costs Mount

The national average price of gasoline rose to $4.39 per gallon in the largest single-day increase since the ceasefire was announced. This spike is directly attributed to the ongoing U.S. war on Iran, which has disrupted oil supplies and driven up global energy costs. The rising prices are forcing many Americans to abandon driving in favor of public transit, with Amtrak and Brightline seeing record ridership.
