Gas prices in the country increased by 51 cents a gallon to $3.48 after the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran. The last time the national average saw that kind of jump was the start of the war in Ukraine in March of 2022, AAA reports. In Pennsylvania, the average price of a gallon of regular gas is even higher: $3.59 on Monday, but far from the peak of $5.07 in June 2022. For context, average gas prices in the state were $3.26 a year ago. The International Energy Agency says Iran has threatened oil tankers in the region, which has led some producers to reduce or pause the flow of supplies.
