If you have gone to the gas pump, you probably noticed that gas and oil prices have changed since the War in Iran.<\/p>\n
With this in mind, AAA has been following the price changes and compiled data to determine the average prices and how much they have jumped. <\/p>\n
Crude oil prices have “climbed sharply” for a second straight day Tuesday, according to AAA. The barrel is up to to $74.56 — more than $3 per barrel compared to the day before. <\/p>\n
Meanwhile, in the area, the uptick in prices has also been felt. Here is the latest data, published on Wednesday by AAA.<\/p>\n

According to AAA, the average gas price in the country climbed 20 cents per gallon between Monday and Wednesday, bringin the price to above $3 for the first time since December.<\/p>\n
Since the conflict in the Middle East, shipping oil worldwide has proven to be a bit more difficult as well given the instability in the region. For example, since Monday, according to AAA, there has been no oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz \u2014 a passageway for one-fifth of the world\u2019s oil supply.<\/p>\n
According to AAA, the iranian attacks on oil and gas infrastructure, including Saudi Arabia\u2019s largest refinery, have added to production and supply concerns.<\/p>\n
TIPS TO SAVE ON GASOLINE<\/p>\n
AAA shared some tips for drivers to save on gas, including: <\/p>\n
Shop around for the best prices. Don\u2019t wait until you\u2019re on empty, which might force you to fill up at a more expensive station (like rest stops or stations right off the highway).<\/p>\n
Slow down. Increasing speeds above 50 mph, aerodynamic drag causes fuel economy to drop off.<\/p>\n
Know which fuel you really need. AAA research has found that unless premium fuel is recommended or required by your vehicle\u2019s manufacturer, it adds no benefit.<\/p>\n
Many gas stations offer discounted prices for drivers who use their app or other rewards program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you have gone to the gas pump, you probably noticed that gas and oil prices have changed…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":154508,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[26815,14670,9,11,10,21770,41575],"class_list":["post-154507","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-commuter-alert","tag-iran","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news","tag-oil-gas","tag-oil-and-gas"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/154507","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=154507"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/154507\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/154508"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=154507"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=154507"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=154507"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
