Why is gas so expensive in Iowa?

I’ve been living and commuting in Iowa for years, and suddenly I’m paying out the nose just to get to work. Why is gas so expensive in Iowa right now?

Sarah Gray · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
I know this won’t make the expense any less painful, but gas prices in
Iowa
 are actually some of the lowest in the country. That said, here’s why gas is so expensive in
Iowa
—and everywhere else—right now:
  • Decreased gas and oil imports
  • Fossil fuel supply
  • Increased demand
Due to the ban on Russian oil and gas imports on top of supply-chain disruptions caused by COVID-19, U.S. citizens have seen gas prices shoot up over the last several months.
While we may not be able to help make gas cheaper for your commute, shopping for
car insurance
 on the
Jerry
 app can help you save money on your insurance to offset gas costs.
Jerry compares quotes from over 50 insurance companies to find you the lowest rate on the coverage you want. And the best part? Jerry saves users an average of over $800 a year on car insurance!
