The Iran war is driving one of the sharpest jumps in gas prices in recent history.

Why it matters: Filling up a 15-gallon tank in the Dallas area costs nearly $12.50 more than it did last year, per AAA.

The big picture: Average national gas prices hit $4 last Tuesday, representing a 35% jump at the pump since the war began in February.

• It's the first time since August 2022 that prices have exceeded $4, per AAA.

By the numbers: A gallon of regular gas was averaging about $4.12 nationally yesterday, per AAA.

• Gas was averaging $3.82 in Texas, almost $1 more than last year.
• In D-FW, prices have increased nearly 30 cents since last week alone. They were about $3.87 per gallon yesterday.

Stunning stat: Diesel prices have shot up significantly since last year. Diesel was averaging around $5.20 in North Texas yesterday, compared with $3.28 last year.

What they're doing: DoorDash has implemented an emergency relief program in response to the gas prices.

• The company is offering drivers a 10% gas rebate through April 26 if they use the company's debit card, as well as weekly fuel assistance payments based on miles driven.

What we're watching: The White House insists that prices will fall rapidly once President Trump's military objectives in Iran are achieved, per Axios' Dave Lawler.

• But analysts say it could take weeks to months for prices to ease, even after the war begins to wind down.

The Iran war is also driving up food inflation, adding to the effects of tariffs, rising electricity prices and high labor costs amid the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.

• But as groceries have become more expensive, you don't have to skimp on avocados.

By the numbers: Our Axios Austin colleagues, who have been on the avocado beat for years, pointed out that last week that small avocados were selling for 45 cents each at H-E-B in their region.

• The Plano H-E-B was selling them for 50 cents each yesterday.
• At Kroger stores in the Dallas area, medium avocados were priced at 89 cents each but, with a digital coupon, dropped to 70 cents each for customers buying four of them at once.

Flashback: In June 2022, small avocados were about $1.08 apiece in the Austin area.

State of pits: The U.S. has been importing record numbers of avocados, per the trade group Avocados from Mexico.

• Bumper crops, driven by healthy rains, have led to the glut in supply, Bloomberg recently reported.

The bottom line: It may not be gas season, but it is guac season.
