By next week, some Americans will be paying over $10 a gallon, and because the pumps can’t handle it, they’ll probably have to sell by the liter. Iran may succeed at making the USA metric.

Fossil fuel advertising contracts at all-time high in 2026

In year of extreme weather, ad agencies found to be building Big Oil’s image as integral to family life and security “It’s that time of the year again,” the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company told Emiratis in a Ramadan advertising campaign. “Where tanks are always full – for night after night of majlis hopping.” When you think about fossil fuels, you might think of offshore oil platforms flaring gas in rough seas, the US/Iran war, or the greenhouse effect heating up the world’s climate. A new report argues, however, that what Big Oil wants you to think about is family, friends and faith instead. Continue reading...

The impacts of the Iran war will intensify in the form of huge jumps in the prices of gasoline and diesel, analysts predict.

Attacks on Saudi Arabia’s East-West pipeline threaten to elevate what had been a shipping crisis into a broader disruption of oil.

Analysts predict gas price jump, long disruption from damaged pipeline

The forecast of economic impacts beyond November’s midterms contrast with the Trump administration’s optimistic messaging.
