US EditionMissouri Gas Prices Rise Above $4.44 as Iran War Disrupts Supply
AAA said Missouri gas averaged $4.446 a gallon Sunday as the closed Strait of Hormuz keeps pressure on fuel markets.
- American gas prices averaged $4.446 per gallon as of Sunday, the highest level since July 2022, after climbing more than 30 cents in the past week amid the Iran war.
- The Strait of Hormuz remains closed amid the Iran war, disrupting a crucial oil trade route and driving prices upward since Feb., when gas averaged $2.98 per gallon.
- To curb high fuel costs, the Department of Energy released 17.5 million barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve between March 20 and April 24, while seven OPEC+ countries agreed to boost production by 188,000 barrels daily.
- ClearView Energy Partners co-founder Kevin Book warned that prices may rise for weeks or months depending on Strait closure duration, predicting any price drop would "probably be a bad one, not a good one."
- When the Iran war ends, President Trump promised gas prices will "drop like a rock," though experts caution that facility repairs and inventory replenishment could delay a return to normal levels.
