The price of a gallon of regular petrol climbed 31 cents in the past week, spiking to an average of $4.48 per gallon, according to the American Automobile Association, rising 50 percent since the US-Israel war on Iran began.

AAA’s website listed the price at that rate as of Wednesday, despite US President Donald Trump earlier pausing the military’s “Project Freedom” operation to open the Strait of Hormuz.
