On May 4, 2026, the national average gas price in the United States increased to $4.457 per gallon, up from $4.446 the previous day. This rise follows nearly two weeks of steady declines. The surge in prices is attributed to oil prices climbing above $100 per barrel amid uncertainty regarding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Gas prices are currently at their highest since late July 2022. In California, the price of regular fuel is notably high at $6.114, while in Texas, it is significantly lower at $3.925. Other states such as Florida, New York, and Pennsylvania report average prices ranging from $4.338 to $4.528 per gallon for regular fuel.
