**Elevated U.S. gasoline prices near $4.15 per gallon as of early September 2026 reflect sustained supply constraints from the U.S.-Iran conflict and related disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, which carries 20-25% of global oil flows.** Crude oil has traded above $90 per barrel amid shipping delays and refinery attacks elsewhere, directly lifting pump prices roughly 2.4-2.5 cents per gallon for every $1 move in crude. Domestic factors include inventories 5-6% below seasonal norms, refinery utilization at 98% (highest since 2018), and record U.S. production failing to offset global tightness. Post-Labor Day demand typically eases, but any renewed geopolitical flare-up, inventory draws, or weather-driven power demand could support prices through month-end, while de-escalation or normalized Hormuz traffic would likely pressure them lower. Trader consensus on Polymarket aggregates these probabilities with real capital at risk.
