Gas Prices Continue to Climb in San Diego Amid War with Iran

Gasoline prices average $3.79 per gallon and diesel nears $5 nationally due to rising crude oil above $100 per barrel amid Iran conflict, tightening supply, and increased demand.

  • On March 17, 2026, gasoline and diesel prices rose nationwide amid the U.S.-Israel war with Iran, with the national average for gasoline at $3.79 per gallon.
  • With crude trading above $100 per barrel, Iran stepped up attacks on energy infrastructure and tanker traffic plunged, tightening global flows, analysts say.
  • In state-level data, GasBuddy price reports show several New York cities with prices between $3.52 and $3.63, while Pennsylvania's average rose to $3.68 Monday, up 9.0 cents last week.
  • Rising diesel is squeezing businesses, with AAA reporting a $4.99 national average and New York at $5.14, adding pressure as diesel rose about $1.17 since last month.
  • GasBuddy reports the national average is up 80.0 cents from last month and 66.1 cents higher than a year ago, while the U.S. oil benchmark tumbled more than 5% after safe tanker transits and Energy Secretary Chris Wright said the war could end soon.
