Head of Petroleum Analysis at Gas Buddy Patrick DeHaan shared the following statement statistics on social media.

Matt McClain, a petroleum analyst for GasBuddy, explained that the conflict in Iran is affecting gas prices.

"The reality of the situation, the Strait of Hormuz is being directly impacted, and has been now for days, with really no end in sight," said McClain. The Strait of Hormuz is crucial as it provides about 20% of the global oil supply.

McClain also mentioned that diesel prices are climbing, which could lead to increased shipping costs and higher retail prices.

"We are seeing a dramatic increase in diesel prices, and that is going to eventually impact shipping prices," he said.
