The average national gas price is up by 12 cents over the past week to $4.11 as well as 80 cents higher than last month. This is attributed to the ongoing U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran along with the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Gasoline demand decreased last week but the price of oil increased to over $112 a barrel.
