今年阵亡将士纪念日周末出行的美国人将面临史上最高油价之一。
尽管伊朗持续冲突造成航运瓶颈和封锁推高了油价,但美国汽车协会(AAA)预计,仍将有超过3900万人在这个周末假期驾车出行。
与此同时,为在2026年中期选举前拉近与美国民众的关系,白宫推出了一系列非常规措施,旨在缓解经济紧缩导致物价上涨和顽固通胀之际民众在加油站的开支压力。
油价飙升与伊朗冲突挂钩,冲击摇摆州,考验特朗普的低油价承诺
:繁忙的阵亡将士纪念日旅行周末前夕,全美燃油价格飙升,司机们在加油站加油。
自2月底俄乌冲突爆发后,伊朗紧张局势升级扰乱石油供应并推高原油价格,全球能源市场再度陷入动荡,燃油价格上涨态势持续。
目前全国汽油价格徘徊在纪录高位附近,超过了此前夏季旅游旺季的水平,引发了人们对未来油价进一步走高的担忧。
唐纳德·特朗普总统已动用创纪录数量的战略石油储备以缓解油价,并呼吁联邦政府暂停征收汽油税。其政府还暂时废除了已有百年历史的《琼斯法案》这一航运法规,以便在美国港口之间更快地运输燃料。
尽管采取了这些措施,全美各地的司机仍在目睹加油站油价大幅上涨。
根据美国汽车协会汇编的数据,西海岸司机面临的油价最高,加利福尼亚州汽油价格达到每加仑6.14美元,华盛顿州为5.70美元。

在东海岸,多个地区油价已攀升至4.50美元以上,其中华盛顿特区为4.67美元,宾夕法尼亚州为4.62美元。
中西部地区,伊利诺伊州油价尤为突出,达到每加仑5.01美元,该地区大部分州油价仍处于4美元区间。南部各州油价相对较低,但同样在上涨,佐治亚州为4.03美元,德克萨斯州为4.09美元,佛罗里达州为4.51美元。密西西比州目前拥有全美最便宜的汽油,每加仑4.01美元。
除汽油外,其他燃料价格上涨速度更快。
柴油价格已攀升至5.65美元,较去年上涨约2.10美元。作为货运、航运和公共交通的关键燃料,柴油对供应中断尤为敏感,其价格上涨会迅速波及整体经济,推高从食品杂货到各类商品的价格。

随着中期选举临近,随着沮丧的美国人看着加油成本不断攀升,油价上涨再次成为重大政治软肋。

Gas prices threaten Memorial Day road trips as pump costs hit historic highs
Escalating tensions in Iran continue to disrupt oil supplies as Americans prepare for the holiday weekend

Americans traveling this Memorial Day weekend will face some of the highest gas prices in history.
Despite the soaring costs due to the ongoing conflict in Iran causing shipping bottlenecks and blockades, AAA expects more than 39 million people to hit the roads over the holiday weekend.
Meanwhile, the White House has attempted to build rapport with Americans ahead of the 2026 midterms by rolling out a series of extraordinary measures aimed at easing pain at the pump amid an economic squeeze causing rising prices and stubborn inflation.
GAS SURGE TIED TO IRAN CONFLICT HITS SWING STATES, TESTING TRUMP’S LOW-PRICE PITCH

The fuel cost surge persists amid renewed turmoil in global energy markets as escalating tensions in Iran have disrupted oil supplies and driven crude prices higher after the war broke out in late February.
National gas prices are now hovering near record territory, eclipsing levels seen during previous summer travel seasons and raising fears of even higher costs ahead.
President Donald Trump has released record amounts of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve as a way to ease prices and has called for a federal gas tax holiday. His administration also temporarily waived a century-old shipping law known as the Jones Act to move fuel more quickly between U.S. ports.
Despite those efforts, drivers across the country are continuing to see sharp increases at the pump.
West Coast drivers are facing the steepest costs, with gas hitting $6.14 per gallon in California and $5.70 in Washington state, according to data compiled by AAA.

On the East Coast, prices have climbed above $4.50 in several areas, including $4.67 in Washington, D.C., and $4.62 in Pennsylvania.
In the Midwest, Illinois stands out at $5.01 per gallon, while much of the region remains in the mid-$4 range. Southern states continue to see comparatively lower costs, though prices are climbing there as well, reaching $4.03 in Georgia, $4.09 in Texas and $4.51 in Florida. Mississippi currently has the nation’s cheapest gas at $4.01 per gallon.
Beyond gasoline, other fuel costs are rising even faster.
Diesel has climbed to $5.65, up about $2.10 over the past year. As a key fuel for freight, shipping and public transportation, it is especially sensitive to supply disruptions and its rising cost can quickly ripple through the broader economy, pushing up prices on everything from groceries to goods.

The surge underscores the broader economic risks tied to the standoff, as uncertainty around the Strait of Hormuz continues to rattle energy markets.
With midterm elections looming, rising gas prices are once again becoming a major political vulnerability as frustrated Americans watch the cost of filling up climb higher.
