The secondary effects of fuel prices are going to drive a lot of inflation. I don't drive so the primary effects on gas prices don't really concern me that much but I do know it will make everything else more expensive as well.
Cost of diesel for a typical Los Angeles-to-Dallas truckload: $1,430 — up about $600, or 72%, from the day before the Feb. 28 strikes on Iran.”

In California, regular is over $6. Diesel is over $8. Iowa ain't seen nothin' yet. But it will. Yeah, you're getting what you voted for.
Gas prices across the USA are more than $1 higher a gallon than they were a year ago - before Trump and Republicans started their latest war in the Middle East
You voted for it #Iowa - all Red States did
You voted for a moronic con man - MAGA made him pedo jesus www.radioiowa.com/2026/09/18/i...

Soon we will remember $18 sandwiches fondly… 🙄
For anyone who wonders why gas prices matter, please understand that the reason you're seeing higher prices on EVERYTHING in the stores is because of transportation costs skyrocketing due to Trump's pointless, stupid war.

"What is driving up gas prices right now isn’t just the price of oil ... It’s the price of diesel. The cost to get the gas to the gas station is the driving factor behind the steady increase at the pump."

How record diesel prices will rip through the U.S. economy. Trucks, rails are only the start
Record diesel prices are already walloping the transportation sector, and if energy prices stay high, the economic impact will spread.

Skyrocketing gas and diesel prices lead to "real world", consumer price increases, such as grocery price hikes.
Host: Do people feel they've been betrayed by Trump because of the Iran war?
Ted Cruz: No. That's a very online, Twitter phenomenon. Not a whole lot of real people believe that.

This morning, there were protesters on an overpass on I-287 here in New Jersey with American flags and signs noting that gas has soared here to $4.59/gal. "VOTE BLUE"
Local California pump prices and EGAD the diesel 😳
Transportation costs will now add to inflation woes. Already seeing grocery prices jump.
