All 50 states have average gas prices above $4 a gallon, AAA said Wednesday, with seven now topping $5 a gallon.

Why it matters: As the war with Iran approaches the three-month mark, soaring fuel prices are costing Americans millions of dollars a day, crushing small business profits, and driving a surge in inflation.

Driving the news: The national average now stands at $4.56 a gallon, AAA said.

  • California is the nation's high, at $6.15 per gallon, while Georgia is the lowest at $4.01 a gallon.
  • Some southern states had been holding the line at $3.98 or $3.99 a gallon in recent days.


  • Stunning stat: The average price of a gallon of gas is up 53% since the war started.
