TL;DR Summary

Brown University researchers estimate Americans have spent about $41.5 billion more on fuel since the start of Trump’s Iran war, a sum that could fund major transportation investments; higher petrol prices (up about 51% to $4.51/gal) and diesel prices (up about 54% to $5.65/gal) are feeding inflation and broader costs as summer travel kicks off, while policy tweaks seek to temper the energy shock.
