(The Center Square) - Gas prices continued to rise across the nation as the U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran went on past its second week. Since the conflict started on Feb. 28, the average cost for a gallon of gas has increased by nearly 75 cents. With no sense of relief in sight, experts weighed in on the long-term consumer impact in the Southwest. “We are still reacting, and that's the unfortunate aspect,” GasBuddy Petroleum expert Matt McClain told The Center Square about oil price instability. As gas prices rise across the U.S., California drivers are paying more than $5.50 a gallon. “It’s probably going to go up another 10 to 15 cents this week,” McClain said about California. As of Monday, the average gallon of regular gas in the U.S. had risen to $3.72, up 74 cents from $2.98 immediately before the conflict started and up 24 cents over the previous week, AAA reported. People in the Southwest were among the most impacted by rising gas prices in the U.S. In California, drivers were paying $5.53 on average for a gallon Monday, up from $5.20 last week. In Nevada, average prices were up to $4.59 from $4.21 over the last week. In Arizona, there was a 47-cent increase from last week’s $3.86 to $4.33. Colorado saw price shock as the gallon grew from $3.41 to $3.82. “The best-case scenario is that the conflict ends in the near term with all the mining and other types of damage,” said Wayne Winegarden, economist and senior business fellow at the Pasadena-based Pacific Research Institute. The Iranian government has set mine bombs along the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic and narrow trade route that sees some 20% of global petroleum pass its waterways. “Unfortunately, at this point it feels like a good bit of higher prices will persist beyond the conflict just because of the damage that the conflict created,” Winegarden told The Center Square. He referenced gas prices, as well as many other consumer goods, such as fertilizer, and by extension, food. “Food is going to be at a higher cost because fertilizer is, which means yields aren’t going to be as plentiful,” he added. While the national average gas price was still far from the all-time $5.02 high in the summer of 2022, the U.S. Department of Energy said last week that it would release 172 million barrels of oil from its strategic petroleum reserve. “The release won't necessarily bring prices down again,” said McClain. “It's actually to help fill the shortage in areas of the world who normally heavily rely on Middle Eastern oil. Twenty million barrels a day are not getting out of the Strait of Hormuz, and that 20 million barrels is being used by somebody.” The U.S. strategic oil reserve release was the second largest in the country’s history. It brought the country’s oil reserve stockpile to its lowest point since 1980. It came as countries around the world released oil reserves totaling around 400 million, according to McClain. Amid gas price insecurity, some drivers may look to electric cars to avoid similar price shocks that are out of their control. Winegarden was skeptical about any immediate migration to electric cars by American drivers during the conflict with Iran. “Perhaps longer term once things settle down, more people may turn to their next car as an EV – that this is the final straw,” said Winegarden.

The bill will now head to the Senate Appropriations Committee. If approved, the bill will need to pass the full Senate and then House before it heads to the governor’s desk.Kelly Jones-Wagy, a parent in Jeffco Public Schools and teacher in Cherry Creek School District, applauded lawmakers for approving the bill. She believes students, including her own, spend far too much time on state testing. The bill isn’t about ending school accountability but instead “lowering the amount of hours,” she said.“The more time we take students out of classes,” Jones-Wagy said, “the more time we take them away from their teachers.”State Sen. Chris Kolker, a Centennial Democrat and a sponsor of the bill, said he filed the bill over concerns from superintendents about the average time students spend on standardized tests. The state estimates students in grades 3-8 spend about eight to 11 hours a year on required Colorado Measures of Academic Success, or CMAS, math and reading assessments. Meanwhile, high school students spend about three and a half hours on the PSAT and SAT.The legislation, which has bipartisan support, was also sponsored by state Sen. Byron Pelton, a Sterling Republican, Rep. Eliza Hamrick, a Centennial Democrat, and Rep. Lori Garcia Sander, an Eaton Republican.This marks a second attempt by Kolker to get the state to address this issue. He filed a bill in 2023 that called for a similar review. The bill didn’t pass, and lawmakers approved House Bill 1241 to create a comprehensive review of the state’s school accountability system.The 1241 task force review yielded 30 recommendations, including a call to modernize the state’s CMAS exams. The recommendations included offering the standardized test in Spanish as well as English, returning test results to teachers faster, and breaking CMAS into smaller sections. Lawmakers filed a bill last year to start the implementation of the recommendations. Some of that work is still underway, and another report on the state’s accountability system is expected in November.But the group’s recommendations didn’t address the time students spent on exams.Some lawmakers who voted against Senate Bill 68 bill, however, said they felt it was duplicative of the 1241 review.A Colorado Department of Education official also testified that they believe the bill would be redundant. And a group of education advocates have mounted opposition to the bill, including FaithBridge, Ready Colorado, and the Colorado Children’s Campaign.DSST: Cole Middle School teacher Tim Nelson, a TeachPlus Colorado policy fellow who opposed the bill, said the CMAS test helps him guide instruction by honing in on what students should know. TeachPlus is a national nonprofit that trains teachers to advocate for policy change.“Using that information, I redesigned lessons and planned new units of study to create more opportunities to practice,” Nelson said.Supporters who testified in support of the bill included the Colorado Education Association, the American Federation of Teachers Colorado, the Colorado Association of School Boards, and the Colorado Association of School Executives.Superintendents who testified in favor of the bill said parents have the ability to opt out of the grades 3-8 tests, but more parents might opt in if the amount of time spent on test taking was reduced.And Harrison School District 2 Superintendent Wendy Birhanzel, who is also president of CASE, said the bill wouldn’t stop the state from administering tests or keep teachers from using them to inform instructions. She said tests are an important part of helping students learn.“However, we must also be mindful of balance,” Birhanzel said.Jason Gonzales is a reporter covering higher education and the Colorado legislature.
