Gas Prices Near You In Lake Elsinore Are Falling In Advance Of Expected Summer Rise

UNITED STATES, JUN 17 – Middle East tensions and California refinery closures contribute to rising U.S. gas prices, with nationwide averages increasing by 6.3 cents in the past week, experts say.

  • Gas prices in the Gary metropolitan area rose 3.5 cents last week to an average of $3.30 per gallon, reflecting local and national shifts.
  • The rise comes after U.S. oil stockpiles dropped sharply by 10 million barrels, while the escalating tensions between Israel and Iran are constraining supply amid heightened demand for fuel during the summer season.
  • Additional factors include recent refinery flaring near Chicago and intensified price cycling driven by Middle Eastern tensions, influencing broader regional price hikes.
  • Analyst Patrick De Haan noted that as conflicts in the Middle East intensify, there is a significant chance that oil prices will be further affected.
  • These developments suggest continued volatility and likely gas and diesel price increases nationwide, especially in Wisconsin and nearby states ahead of the July 4 holiday.
