Connecticuts gas prices soar to $4.62 per gallon, up from $3.07 last year, due to the Iran-US conflict blocking the Strait of Hormuz. Crude benchmarks like Brent hover around $100, pushing diesel to $5.85 and jet fuel through the roof. Food truck owner Maurice Pipkin struggles with increased fuel costs, while restaurants and grocery stores face surcharges. Eighty percent of Americans report budget strain.
