Gas Prices Expected to Stay Elevated as Experts Share Ways to Save at the Pump

Chris Wright says prices could peak soon as loyalty programs, warehouse clubs and price apps offer drivers ways to cut fuel costs.

  • On Sunday, the average cost of regular gasoline was $4.05, significantly higher than the $2.98 drivers paid before the US-Israeli conflict with Iran began on February 28.
  • Global oil markets remain on edge due to the ongoing Iran war, though Iran claimed on Friday that the Strait of Hormuz was "completely open" to maritime traffic.
  • Retailers like Walmart and BP offer loyalty programs providing up to 10 cents off per gallon, while drivers use apps such as GasBuddy to compare prices. "Nobody should be paying the retail price," said analyst Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy.
  • Energy Secretary Chris Wright expects gas prices to peak in the coming weeks and remains optimistic that costs could drop to $3 per gallon between June 20 and September 20.
