Premium gas prices saw a 5% sales drop during June 2026.
It's attributed to higher fuel prices from the US-Iran conflict.
Buyers of luxury and performance cars opted for regular fuel to save money.
Average cost for a gallon of gas is slowly declining, falling below the $4.00 mark so far in July, according to AAA Fuel Prices. Drivers are still feeling some pain at the pumps, though, and high prices in June led many luxury and performance car owners to skip premium gasoline in favor of cheaper regular gas.
Bloomberg cites data from a cash-back app called Upside, which says premium gasoline sales declined by 5.0 percent between June 22nd and June 25th compared to the average in February. Upside used February for comparison because that is just before the start of the United States strikes on Iran, which led to a surge in oil prices.
