According to the report, the current average is 145.9 cents per gallon higher than a month ago and $1.09 per gallon higher than a year ago.

The cheapest station surveyed was $3.89 per gallon while the most expensive was $4.38 per gallon, the report stated.

According to the report, the statewide average rose 25.2 cents per gallon in the last week to $4.17 per gallon, while the national average price rose 2.4 cents per gallon since last week to $3.95 per gallon.

The national average, the report stated, was compiled from more than 11 million weekly price reports from 150,000 stations.

In Layton, a survey Sunday night of 11 stations revealed an average price for a gallon of gas to be $4.12, with the lowest being $3.90 and the highest being $4.29.

The national average price for diesel is now $5.369 per gallon, an increase of 14.3 cents from a week ago, the report stated. The report added that this is the highest level since July 27, 2022.

“Gasoline and diesel prices continue to climb to multi-year highs as the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz curtails the flow of millions of barrels of crude oil each day,” Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said in the report.

“The situation remains highly volatile and unpredictable, but upward pressure on fuel prices is likely to persist as long as global oil supplies are constrained by the continued disruption in the Strait. We’re likely to see the national average for gasoline push beyond the $4-per-gallon mark, while diesel could approach $6 per gallon and potentially set new records if conditions fail to improve. Americans have already spent nearly $8 billion more on gasoline over the past month, a trend that poses growing risks to the broader economy, while surging diesel prices may begin to reaccelerate inflation.”
