Prices at the gas pump jumped an average of 11 cents across the US on Tuesday morning, according to AAA. The national price for a gallon of regular gas climbed from $3.00 on Monday to $3.11 on Tuesday, while premium fuel rose from $3.86 to $3.98.

That's the largest single-day price rise at the pump since March 2022, AAA told Business Insider. Every state except Hawaii experienced Tuesday's price jump.

It's also the first time the national average for regular gas has topped $3 a gallon in 2026.

The spike comes as Iran expands attacks in response to bombings by the US and Israel. In recent days, Iran has launched missiles and drones at Israel and at US bases in Bahrain, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar.
