Gas price in the US rose 14%

The price of regular gasoline in the U.S. rose 14% last week following the start of military operations against Iran, reaching a record high of $3.41 per gallon. According to the American Automobile Association (AAA), the new national average is $3.41, up from $3.00 the previous week. The increase is noticeable across many states: in some regions, especially along the East Coast and in California, prices have already exceeded $3.80 to $4.00 per gallon.

Context
