The pain at the pump for Miami-area drivers continues to grow, with the average price of gasoline in the region rising another 0.8 cents per gallon over the past week.

“Gasoline and diesel prices continue to climb to multi-year highs as the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz curtails the flow of millions of barrels of crude oil each day,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy.
“The situation remains highly volatile and unpredictable, and we’re likely to see the national average for gasoline push beyond the $4-per-gallon mark, while diesel could approach $6 per gallon and potentially set new records if conditions fail to improve.”
Americans have already spent nearly $8 billion more on gasoline over the past month, De Haan added.
