U.S. gas prices hit highest level since start of Iran war
The national average for regular gasoline rose to $4.176 per gallon on April 28, 2026, the highest level since the start of the U.S.-Iran war. Brent crude topped $111 per barrel as stalled negotiations with Iran and ongoing Middle East tensions tightened supply expectations. Some markets saw sharp overnight moves; Cincinnati jumped more than 21 cents to $4.055 per gallon, illustrating uneven regional impacts. Higher pump prices will raise transportation and grocery costs, squeeze household budgets ahead of the midterm elections, and increase pressure on Washington to pursue diplomatic or market measures.
It's day 59 of Trump's war with Iran. Gas prices are 40% higher since the war began.
Cmango4Ohio today: 4.29 UNL 5.39 PRE Pre unnecessary war: 2.79 UNL Increase of 54%
Laura Wise-Blau3Agree. But also, you’ve got to distance yourself from Platner
Ken in MN3How about: It is Day 59 of Trump's illegally-started war against Iran. He has still not been held accountable by the branch of government whose power he stomped on because Republican'ts put Party over Country and the Constitution. Oh, and gas prices...
immanoman.bsky.social2A great example of why we need to focus on green renewable energy
Gas prices in the U.S. just rose to their highest level in four years. The average cost for a gallon of regular gasoline is $4.18, according to the AAA motor club.
Sean Solo4These prices will seem quaint in a month.
Marko Silberhand3. Hey America, Trump's "Golden Age" is near . . . ... believe it ! 💠 🙄 💠
🍀🩵Cindy💙🍀3In Central Indiana, it was $3.69 Monday morning. By 11:00 p.m., it was $4.18.
Shola Hoon2Most of us can’t afford groceries and gas and our President is obsessed about a fucking ballroom for his personal luxury.
Just Grandma🇺🇦2So no $1.98 per gallon as promised.
UlTraVioLet 💙🫘 📜⚖️ 🗳️2$4.29 here in small town Ohio, nice deep red county so you know
While the American people struggle to afford gas and make ends meet, Trump wants to take $400 million more out of our pockets to build his golden ballroom.
239PuMaker4Trump claims the ballroom is for security but he has no problem going out on an 18 hole golf course in the open. It's all bullshit.
prismascuro.bsky.social2I saw great description of Trumps business model for the USA. It’s a liquidation business. He is liquidating the USA federal govt and pocketing the money.
Gas prices back up after a short-lived "ceasefire" decline last week. Now at $4.17/gallon, the highest national average since 2022 www.gasbuddy.com/charts
ericpiekarski.bsky.social5There ISN'T A CEASEFIRE with Iran Just like there ISN'T A CEASEFIRE in Gaza Just like there ISN'T A CEASEFIRE in Lebanon
Doc0003Just wait until Friday. Trump will announce something that will simultaneously cause oil prices to drop a little bit and send the stock market soaring. Then next Monday, we'll be right back where we are now and Trump's market manipulation game begins anew.
Peyton Farquhar2This week's bubba feed is that "gas was higher under Biden." Yes, in late May, 2022, gas prices spiked as many COVID lockdowns ended and demand outpaced supply. Prices are spiking now because Netanyahu dog-walked our drooling idiot president into a quagmire. #FalseEquivalence
