US gas prices highest in nearly four years

Gasoline prices in the United States - a sensitive political issue ahead of the midterm elections for Congress this fall - have risen to a national average of about $4.54 per gallon (3.78 liters). That is the highest price since July 2022.

The price level - which has risen rapidly due to high world market prices for oil as a result of the Iran war - is high in the United States and is comparable to levels of around $3.30 per gallon a year ago.

The state of California stands out. There, the average gasoline price is $6.16 per gallon, according to the American Automobile Association.

Translated into Swedish terms, the national average is around 11.20 kronor per liter. This can be compared with prices of around 18.50 kronor per liter for gasoline at Swedish gas stations.
