Why gasoline prices fell but then started climbing again
The price of a gallon of regular gasoline climbed 31 cents in the past week, spiking to an average of $4.48 per gallon Tuesday, according to AAA. That's up 50% since the war with Iran began. Many drivers were hopeful in mid-April, amid signs that the conflict could be winding down, and gasoline prices fell daily for almost two weeks. But as the war continued, gasoline prices reversed course and began increasing again. And energy experts say that even once the war ends, it will take months for gasoline prices to return to pre-war levels.

🚨🛢⛽️ Everyone’s Watching Crude — But the Real Crisis Is Refining
Since the escalation of the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz, crude supply disruptions have captured global attention. However, the increasing deficit in refined products — jet fuel, diesel, and gasoline — poses a potentially deeper and more enduring challenge.
🔸 Energy Aspects estimates that over 450 million barrels of product output have been lost since the conflict began.
🔸 Refinery run cuts globally are in the range of 5-6 million barrels per day.
🔸 Unlike crude, where OPEC retains some spare capacity, there is no equivalent buffer in the refining system. Global refineries were already operating at or near maximum utilization before the crisis began.
🔸 Distillates (diesel/gasoil): The Middle East and Asia account for a large share of global exports. European diesel stocks are well below five-year minimums and falling.
🔸 Jet fuel: European jet stocks are critically low — in some markets, just weeks of supply remain. Stock-outs are possible later in the summer if the disruption persists.
🔸 Gasoline: The percentage of refineries producing gasoline over jet and diesel has fallen to nearly zero. Atlantic basin gasoline shortages are emerging just as summer driving season approaches.
🔸 Tapping strategic oil reserves is a temporary fix, not a real solution. It buys time but does not replace lost refinery production. Every barrel used today must be replaced later.
🔸 Asian refiners are under the most pressure right now. They are using reserves, cutting production, and limiting exports to keep enough fuel at home.
🔸 The shortage will hit Western markets in May and June.
The global refining system faces a severe, enduring supply deficit that cannot be mitigated by strategic reserves, risking widespread fuel shortages.
The lack of spare capacity in refining amplifies vulnerabilities, underscoring the need for urgent, long-term solutions. Without intervention, persistent shortages could severely impact transportation, economies, and energy security worldwide.
