Even With an End to the War, May Take Time to See Gas Prices Back to Where They Were

Wednesday, June 17th, 2026 -- 12:00 PM

(Wisconsin Radio Network) News of an agreement to end the President's war with Iran is good news for motorists, although Nick Jarmusz with Triple A Wisconsin notes prices at the pump were already trending down about 72 cents from the peak that we saw back in May on the 15th.

According to the Wisconsin Radio Network, reopening the Strait of Hormuz should continue the downward direction, but Jarmusz says at what point it really accelerates and begins to bring us closer to where prices were before this all started is very difficult to say at this point.

Jarmusz notes gas prices are still about a dollar per gallon below where they were in June of 2022, their all-time high.
