⛽️ Iran War Has Cost American Consumers Over $35 Billion in Extra Fuel Costs, Brown University Tracker Shows
American consumers have paid more than $37 billion in additional gasoline and diesel costs since the war with Iran began on February 28, according to a real-time tracker developed by Brown University’s Watson School of International and Public Affairs.
The tracker, led by researcher Jeff Colgan, compares current fuel prices against a projected pre-war baseline. The national average for gas has risen to around $4.52 per gallon, up from under $3 when the war began — with summer driving season yet to peak.
