US gasoline falls below $4 a gallon for the first time in months

FinanceInternationalNPRNov 11, 2026, 2:59 PMAI summary

The average price of a gallon of regular gasoline in the United States fell below $4 this week, to $3.94, according to AAA. The roughly 40-cent drop over the past month is explained by the seasonal switch to winter blend, with lower demand, and above all by the decline in Brent crude, near $90 a barrel, amid diplomatic efforts between the US and Iran. Analysts warn that an escalation of the conflict could reverse the trend.
