   U.S. Families Pay Estimated $100 Billion in Extra Fuel Costs from Iran War

   U.S. consumers have spent an estimated $100 billion in additional fuel costs resulting from the war in Iran. Retail diesel prices have reached a record high as global supply tightens. Gasoline prices have risen nearly 30 percent since the conflict began. These increases are driven by the destruction of refineries in both Iran and Ukraine, raising broader concerns regarding inflation.
