On average, regular gas prices in the US today are nearly 40% higher than a year ago, according to AAA's Fuel Price Tracker as of November 2. In 42 states, regular gas prices per gallon today are at least $1 higher than they were a year ago.

A White House spokesperson told Business Insider that once the conflict in the Middle East ends, gas prices will "drop drastically," adding Iran also "will not have a nuclear weapon."

"Thanks to the exceptional work of the US military, more oil is now flowing out of the Persian Gulf than before the Iran conflict began," the spokesperson said.

To see how fuel prices have risen across the US, Business Insider used AAA data to compare today's gas prices with those a year ago. We ranked all US states by the percentage increase in regular prices, which most people see at the pump. We also listed the rise in diesel prices in each state to provide a fuller picture.
