Summary
Gas prices are surging despite falling oil costs, with national averages up nearly 1 percent and diesel soaring 77 percent this year—forcing trucking, farming, and construction to pay steep surcharges as shortages persist. The crisis stems from Middle East tensions disrupting oil flows, Ukraine-Russia conflict choking diesel exports, and U.S. reserves dwindling. Even executives call $8 a gallon “science fiction,” while the Fed hikes rates to combat inflation—tying energy chaos to broader economic pain.
