U.S. retail regular gasoline prices reached a national average of $4.50 per gallon for the week ending May 11, per the latest EIA data, up 4.8 cents week-over-week and reflecting a 42-cent monthly surge driven by WTI crude oil at $101.56 per barrel—elevated by Strait of Hormuz supply disruptions from the ongoing Iran conflict and domestic refinery outages. Declining crude inventories by 4.3 million barrels and falling gasoline stocks have tightened near-term supply, while refinery inputs rose modestly to 16.4 million barrels per day. Approaching Memorial Day weekend signals peak summer driving demand, historically lifting consumption 5-10%, compounded by summer blend gasoline transitions. Traders eye the May 19 EIA gasoline and diesel update plus weekly petroleum inventories for resolution risks through May 31.
