Summary
Gas prices soar to record highs, straining travel plans and global oil reserves. Negotiations to reopen the Strait of Hormuz are stalled, causing a significant jump in prices. Experts warn of potential climb to five dollars a gallon, with a year or more for prices to fully come down. Global oil stockpiles are dangerously low, with potential oil prices hitting one hundred ninety-six dollars a barrel if disruptions continue.
