High gasoline prices resulting from disruptions in the U.S.-Iran conflict are prompting many Americans to cut back on driving. A survey released Monday by Insurify found that 69% of Americans are driving less to cope with the elevated fuel costs, while an earlier Gallup poll in June showed that 54% of U.S. adults had already made similar adjustments. Vehicle miles traveled fell 0.68% in May compared to May 2025 according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, a deviation from the usual seasonal increase. Seasonally adjusted retail sales at gas stations rose 13.7% from February to July per the Census Bureau, but gasoline prices increased 20% over the same period, indicating reduced purchases during peak travel season. The national average for regular unleaded gas reached $4.08 per gallon on Monday, up from $2.98 on the eve of the conflict in February. Weekend attacks between the U.S. and Iran have dimmed hopes that supply disruptions will ease soon. These cutbacks are affecting household budgets and the inflation outlook, though other economic indicators have remained resilient. The conflict has disrupted crude flows through the Strait of Hormuz, which has seen traffic fall more than 80%, and reduced global refining capacity by about 10%, with the benchmark LR2 tanker rate hitting a record $107.72 a ton. U.S. gasoline prices have risen faster than in the post-Ukraine period, and a Venezuela oil agreement announced by President Donald Trump is unlikely to provide immediate relief due to infrastructure needs.
