美国汽车协会（AAA）的数据显示，在霍尔木兹海峡持续爆发冲突的背景下，劳动节假期前汽油价格持续上涨，预计驾车出行的民众将面临有记录以来劳动节假期最高的加油成本。
根据AAA的统计数据，美国全国普通汽油均价周四达到每加仑4.14美元，较一周前上涨4美分。柴油均价为每加仑5.78美元，仅略低于2022年6月创下的5.81美元历史峰值。
该汽车俱乐部指出，劳动节期间美国汽油价格从未突破过每加仑4美元。
AAA在一份报告中表示：“尽管每年这个时候汽油需求都会下降，通常会拉低油价，但今年由于原油价格高企，情况有所不同。”
尽管通胀已从疫情后的高点回落，但高燃油成本仍在同时挤压消费者和企业。根据布朗大学的一项追踪数据，自伊朗局势升级以来，美国民众家庭因汽油和柴油价格上涨额外支出已超过741美元。
飙升的柴油价格推高了货运、建筑、农业以及其他依赖重型车辆和机械设备行业的成本。
“柴油价格距离创下历史新高仅一步之遥，”GasBuddy石油分析师帕特里克·德哈恩告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，“这终将发生。”
高昂的柴油价格会推高全美各地的货物运输成本，进而推高消费品价格，从而加剧通胀。
“普通消费者会在购买的商品中感受到柴油价格上涨带来的影响，”雷斯塔德能源公司下游研究高级副总裁苏珊·贝尔说道，“想想那些在全国范围内运输的食品杂货，以及从加州运来、通过卡车或铁路运输的水果蔬菜，这都会引发通胀。”
美国总统特朗普周二会见了美国炼油商，讨论提升炼油产能事宜，此时白宫正试图遏制高企的油价。
上周，特朗普还与委内瑞拉达成协议，掌控该国约650亿桶已探明石油储量。但能源专家警告称，这些油田可能需要数年时间才能产出足够的原油，对美国燃油价格产生实质性影响。
能源分析师表示，燃油价格可能会持续居高不下，直到霍尔木兹海峡的航运恢复正常。这条连接波斯湾和阿曼湾的关键航道承担着全球五分之一的石油运输量。
周四油价再次上涨，此前伊朗宣称在中东多地针对美军发动了新的袭击。当日下午交易中，国际原油基准布伦特原油价格为每桶95.55美元，美国国内基准原油价格约为91.50美元。
根据美国能源信息署的数据，原油成本约占美国一加仑汽油价格的一半，其余部分由炼油、税收和营销成本构成。此外，季节因素也会影响汽油价格，温暖月份的燃油需求会有所上升。
“通常情况下，秋季油价会下跌，但目前油价更多受到地缘政治紧张局势的影响，而这种局势可能随时发生变化，”德哈恩说道。
Gas prices are surging just before Labor Day, as diesel nears an all-time high

Gasoline prices are surging ahead of Labor Day, with AAA predicting travelers will face the highest pump prices on record for the holiday weekend amid ongoing conflict in the Strait of Hormuz.
The national average for regular gasoline reached $4.14 a gallon Thursday, up 4 cents from a week earlier, according to AAA data. Diesel averaged $5.78 a gallon, just below its record of $5.81 set in June 2022.
Gas prices have never eclipsed $4 per gallon on Labor Day, the motor club noted.
“Even though gasoline demand decreases this time of year, typically bringing down gas prices, this year is different due to the high cost of crude oil,” AAA said in a report.
Although inflation has cooled from its post-pandemic highs, high fuel costs are squeezing consumers and businesses alike. Since the start of the Iran war, higher gas and diesel prices have cost Americans more than $741 per household, according to a tracker from Brown University.
Soaring diesel costs are raising expenses for trucking, construction, agriculture and other industries that rely on heavy-duty vehicles and machinery.
“Diesel is just a couple of ticks away from hitting a new record,” GasBuddy petroleum analyst Patrick De Haan told CBS News. “That will happen.”
High diesel prices can stoke inflation by raising the cost of transporting goods across the U.S., thereby pushing up consumer prices.
“The everyday consumer will see higher diesel prices in the consumer goods they purchase,” said Susan Bell, senior vice president of downstream research at Rystad Energy. “Think of the groceries that get shipped around the nation, and fruits and vegetables that come from California and move by truck or rail. It’s inflationary.”
President Trump on Tuesday met with U.S. oil refiners to discuss increasing capacity as the White House seeks to contain sky-high oil prices.
Last week, he also struck a deal with Venezuela to gain control of about 65 billion barrels of its proven oil reserves. But energy experts caution that it could take years for those fields to yield enough crude to move the needle on fuel prices in the U.S.
Energy analysts say fuel prices are likely to remain elevated until shipping resumes in the Strait of Hormuz, a key waterway between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman through which one-fifth of the world’s oil supply flows.
Oil prices rose again Thursday as Iran claimed new strikes targeting U.S. forces across the Middle East. In afternoon trading, the price of Brent crude, the international standard, was $95.55 per barrel, while the U.S. benchmark hovered around $91.50.
Oil accounts for about half the cost of a gallon of gas in the U.S. The rest is a combination of refining, taxes and marketing, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The time of year also influences gas prices, as demand for fuel rises during warmer months.
“Typically, prices decline in the fall, but right now, it has more to do with geopolitical tensions that could change at a moment’s notice,” De Haan said.
