"Average gasoline prices declined in nearly every state over the last week, while all 50 states saw average diesel prices move lower," said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. "However, the outlook is far from settled. New uncertainty has emerged after Iran suggested the Strait of Hormuz was closed, along with fresh warnings that the U.S. could again strike Iran, developments that could push oil prices higher in the days ahead. Despite this, gasoline prices aren't yet at significant risk of a spike, as some vessels have continued to move through the Strait. Still, should the situation worsen or escalate further, motorists could see that risk change quickly."
