hindustantimes.com —

US gas prices fell 17.1 cents to a national average of $4.12 per gallon, the biggest weekly drop in months, ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. Prices are down 24.7 cents from a month ago, but remain $1.13 higher than last year. GasBuddy's Patrick De Haan attributed the decline to completed refinery maintenance and falling seasonal demand. De Haan warned prices could become volatile post-election due to risks from the Iran conflict, the Strait of Hormuz, and Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries. Data came from over 12 million reports at 150,000 stations.
