U.S. oil prices rise to $4.10 per gallon, up 37% since the outbreak of the Iran war

Golden Finance reported that, according to data from the American Automobile Association (AAA), as of local time on April 4, the U.S. average retail gasoline price rose to $4.10 per gallon, up 12 cents from last week. Since the U.S.-led strikes against Iran on February 28, gasoline prices have increased by 37%. Gasoline prices have risen mainly because the Strait of Hormuz is nearly shut and oil production has declined in the Middle East. California has the highest state gasoline average in the U.S., at nearly $5.92 per gallon, while Oklahoma has the lowest, at $3.29 per gallon. (Dongxin News Agency)
