The Middle East war has put pressure on the US market. The country's gasoline price has once again reached an average of $4 per gallon (about 3.8 liters). This has spread discontent among citizens across the country.

According to the news agency AP, according to the 'AAA Motor Club', the average price of gasoline nationwide is currently $4 per gallon. While the average price was $3.14 at the same time last year.

Reaching the national average of $4 means that drivers in several US states are already paying more than $4 per gallon. Prices vary by region due to local fuel supplies and state-based taxes.

In May of this year, the average price of gasoline in the United States rose to a four-year high of more than $4.50 per gallon. Later, it fell to $3.79 earlier this month, but it has again reached $4.
