a two-week ceasefire<\/a> that halted more than a month of war. World leaders expressed relief, even as more drones and missiles hit the Islamic Republic and Gulf Arab states.<\/p>\nThe new strikes threatened to scuttle what U.S. Vice President JD Vance called a \u201cfragile\u201d deal. Meanwhile, Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz in response to Israeli attacks on Lebanon, Iranian-state media reported.<\/p>\n
In a Wednesday morning interview with KSAT, GasBuddy head of petroleum analysis Patrick De Haan said the ceasefire \u201cis still a little bit uncertain.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cWill ships start to transit through this Strait of Hormuz? That\u2019s the biggest wild card,\u201d De Haan said. \u201cIf they still don\u2019t start transiting through, or if Iran continues to essentially block the strait, while we could see oil prices going right back up again.\u201d<\/p>\n
In San Antonio, GasBuddy reported the average price of regular gasoline jumped earlier this week to $3.99 a gallon. The average price for diesel rose to $5.45 a gallon, which the company said is the highest level it has recorded.<\/p>\n
Drivers said the increases are already hitting budgets.<\/p>\n
\u201cYesterday, I bought $42 of diesel,\u201d one driver told KSAT. \u201cI mean, I put it in a tractor, a small little tractor. It didn\u2019t even put a half a tank.\u201d <\/p>\n
Another motorist said they\u2019re waiting for prices to go down. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m hopeful,\u201d the motorist said. \u201cHopeful that they do come down.\u201d<\/p>\n
KSAT 12 News will continue tracking fuel prices in the area and provide updates on how the Middle East conflict will affect costs across the Lone Star State. <\/p>\n
