The NYT has learned about the rise in gasoline prices in the United States to the highest since 2024

Gasoline prices in the United States increased by 14% in the week after the start of the military operation against Iran, reaching the highest level since 2024. This was reported on March 7 by The New York Times (NYT), citing data from the American Automobile Association (AAA).

According to the publication, the average cost of gasoline was $3.41 per gallon (3.785 liters). At the same time, gasoline prices are likely to continue to rise, since at a similar price of WTI oil, which is $90.9 per barrel, gasoline cost about $3.8 per gallon.

It is noted that even if fuel prices decrease slightly in the future, the economic consequences of the current growth, as the newspaper's experts emphasize, will be felt in the long term for American consumers.
