0:58Now PlayingThe national average price of gasoline has risen above $4 a gallon, according to AAA — more than a dollar above prices before the start of the war in Iran, although prices have yet to hit their peaks from 2022, when Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Prices vary around the country — most expensive on the West Coast and least expensive in the middle of the continent, but they’re rising everywhere. Crude oil is driving prices up, as the war in Iran disrupts the oil trade. Meanwhile, the average cost of public-charging electric vehicles is 41 cents a kilowatt-hour, AAA reports, up slightly — two cents — from a month ago.
