Elevated crude oil prices near $100 per barrel, driven by ongoing geopolitical tensions including Iran-related disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, represent the dominant factor pushing the U.S. national average regular gasoline price to approximately $4.43 per gallon as of mid-September 2026. This has lifted prices across all regions, though lower-cost areas such as the Gulf Coast and Midwest remain closest to the $3.75 threshold amid varying state taxes, refining margins, and distribution costs. EIA data show 2026 retail gasoline averaging $3.84 per gallon in forecasts, with potential downside from any de-escalation or inventory builds, while near-term upside stems from persistent supply constraints and seasonal factors. Traders monitor weekly EIA inventory reports and crude benchmarks like WTI for shifts in implied probabilities.
