Gas Prices Surge Amid Iran Tensions | Oakland News
Description
Gas prices are back over four dollars a gallon nationwide, hitting a level last seen in May, as renewed tensions between the U.S. and Iran—especially around the Strait of Hormuz—send oil prices soaring. Diesel, crucial for trucking and supply chains, now exceeds five dollars a gallon, pushing up everything from groceries to delivery costs. Brent crude hits $91 a barrel and U.S. benchmark crude tops $84, directly fueling the pump price surge. With midterms looming, Americans are feeling the financial strain, making fuel costs a major election-year concern.
