Elevated crude oil prices, currently above $90–$100 per barrel amid ongoing Middle East tensions and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, represent the dominant driver keeping U.S. retail gasoline averages near $4.48 per gallon as of late September 2026. Regional benchmarks show the lowest state averages (such as Texas or Gulf Coast) hovering around $3.93, well above the $3.75 threshold, with national figures up sharply from year-ago levels near $3.18. Refinery margins, inventory draws, and seasonal demand add upward pressure, while any resolution in Iran-related supply risks could ease prices toward historical correlations with lower WTI levels. Traders monitoring EIA weekly releases and geopolitical headlines will focus on near-term catalysts that could shift state-level readings before resolution dates.
