Elevated crude oil prices, driven by Middle East instability and volatility around the Strait of Hormuz, remain the dominant force pushing U.S. retail gasoline averages above $4.09 per gallon as of late July 2026. Summer driving demand has tightened inventories faster than seasonal norms, with stocks projected near multi-year lows by late August absent supply relief. Refinery margins and Gulf Coast output also factor into pump prices, while upcoming weekly EIA reports and any de-escalation signals could shift the near-term trajectory. Traders monitor these inputs closely as post-Labor Day demand typically eases, influencing whether prices sustain current levels through month-end.
