Summary
Gas prices are soaring past $4 a gallon, forcing families to rethink vacations and daily commutes. Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, especially Iran’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, are driving up crude oil costs — while Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries and China’s lower output are tightening diesel supplies. Even with U.S. refineries running at full capacity, disruptions like hurricanes could keep prices high. For parents like Nicole, juggling a new baby and sky-high fuel costs is becoming unbearable. Relief? Officials aren’t offering a clear timeline — but diesel is hitting record highs, pushing up everything from trucking to your grocery bill.
