AAA reports Cincinnati's average gas price jumped over 20 cents overnight to $4.06 per gallon, with Brent Crude now at $111 per barrel. Dearborn County and Covington also saw sharp increases.
The spike follows the U.S. dismissal of Iran's offer to reopen the Strait of Hormuz if the war ends, prolonging the naval blockade and tightening global oil supplies.
