As the war in Iran continues,<\/a> consumers are paying more and more at gas pumps across the country.<\/p>\n

Per AAA, the national gas price average sat at $4.018 on March 31. This is the first time since 2022<\/a> that the national average has pushed past the $4 mark.<\/p>\n

Here’s a breakdown of where Philadelphia stands compared to the national average, and what consumers in the city are saying about the price hike.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia consumers react to gas prices<\/p>\n

When asked about gas prices on the rise across the country and in Philadelphia, Andre Williams, 20, called it “ridiculous.”<\/p>\n

At the Exxon gas station off of Bainbridge and Broad streets, Williams was filling his 2017 Chevy Malibu, an expense that he said used to run about $40. Now, he’s shelling out $60.<\/p>\n

Who’s to blame? Williams, who’s opting to take the bus or train on occasion, said, “our current president.”<\/p>\n

Daniel Perez, 37, agreed while hitting up the pumps where regular gas had risen to $4.19 per gallon on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“I feel like it’s terrible. I feel like it’s definitely Trump’s fault,” Perez said.<\/p>\n

The motorist also mentioned the war in Iran, calling it “totally ridiculous.”<\/p>\n

He had stopped to put gas in his Honda CRV while getting his bike repaired across the street, a method of transportation he said he’ll be utilizing more since he’s “trying not to drive at all.”<\/p>\n
