Gas Prices Reverse Course and Start Rising Again

Posted July 10, 2026

WASHINGTON, DC– Gas prices are going up again, as the future of the ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran remains uncertain. The national average for a gallon of regular gasoline went up 5 cents overnight to $3.84 after steadily dropping since late May. Crude oil prices are currently in the $70 per barrel range but could rise if volatility lingers along the Strait of Hormuz. Prices are still lower than they were in the spring when the national average peaked at $4.56 on May 21.  

The national average per kilowatt hour of electricity at a public EV charging station went up by one cent this past week to 42 cents.
