Time is running out: there are 48 hours left before hell is unleashed upon them. 'Glory to God!' Trump wrote on his social media, Truth Social. The average price of gasoline in the United States continued its upward trend this Saturday, reaching $4.10 per gallon (3.78 liters), a level not seen since 2022. According to data from the AAA automotive association, the national average stood at $4.104, representing an increase of over 37% since the United States and Israel began their war against Iran on February 28. The war in the Middle East continues to drive up gasoline prices in the United States, particularly due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the world's oil supply and a significant portion of natural gas pass. In which states is there an increase in gasoline prices? California is the most expensive state to refuel: a gallon of gasoline there has already reached $5.90. It is followed by Hawaii, where it is $5.50, and Washington state, where it is $5.30. The states in the central part of the country report the lowest figures, with some below $3.50 per gallon. The price of gasoline surpassed the psychological barrier of $4 per barrel this Tuesday for the first time since Russia's invasion of Ukraine. At that time, fuel prices exceeded $5 per gallon for a week. The price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude closed the session this Thursday above $100 per barrel. Futures contracts for May, the reference contract in the US, surged 11% to $111.54 per barrel at the end of the last trading week. The President of the United States, Donald Trump, once again threatened Iran on Saturday, reminding them that there are '48 hours' left to complete the ultimatum he had given them to open the Strait of Hormuz or face attacks on their energy facilities. 'Remember when I gave Iran ten days to reach an agreement or open the Strait of Hormuz?'
