Las Vegas Valley gasoline prices are in danger of hitting a new all-time high as geopolitical tensions continue around the world.
The average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gas in Southern Nevada on Thursday was $5.36, which is up 1 cent from Wednesday, up 21 cents from last week and up 58 cents in the last month, according to AAA.
Las Vegas Valley’s record average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gas was set on June 16, 2022, at $5.67 per gallon, according to AAA. If the conflict in the Middle East continues, the Strait of Hormuz continues to be closed and Ukraine continues to attack Russian refineries, a new record could be set in the coming weeks, according to Patrick De Hann, lead petroleum analyst for GasBuddy.
