Stocks rally after reports suggest Trump might end the war soon, saying ‘we’re not going to be there for too much longer’

National average hit $4.02, according to AAA data, capping an extraordinary rise from $2.98 just a month ago

Average US fuel prices have crossed $4 a gallon for the first time in four years, piling pressure on drivers as Donald Trump’s war on Iran continues to boost oil markets.

The nationwide average climbed to almost $4.02 on Tuesday, according to AAA data, capping an extraordinary rise from $2.98 just a month ago. The fuel price last reached this high in August 2022.

On the west coast, many drivers filling up cars and trucks are grappling with prices far higher than the US average. In California, the average is $5.89 a gallon; in Washington state, the average is $5.35.

    Its disgusting that I’m telling you that we don’t have good public transportation and have to use our cars more than most people in Europe do?

    No it’s disgusting that you make it sound like an excuse for not driving more efficient cars.

    guess how many electric charging stations were on the route back? Can you guess? I bet you can, because there weren’t any

    Which is exactly my point, USA is failing on infrastructure, and has been for half a century. Together with everything else that could curb CO2.

    OK as an individual right now maybe you can’t do much, the problem is not you as an individual, but the mentality of the US population as a whole.
