Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, stated in a news release that average gasoline prices rose in virtually every state over the last week. He noted that 45 states saw increases of more than 3 cents per gallon, particularly in the Great Lakes region due to refinery issues. De Haan also noted that diesel rose in every state, with five states seeing increases exceeding 50 cents per gallon due to continued strikes on Russian oil refineries and regional refinery issues in the Great Lakes. He stated that the outlook remains deeply uncertain due to new Houthi attacks and fresh U.S.-Iran escalations.
