New York —
The Iran war has saddled Americans with a massive energy bill that continues to mount as the conflict drags on.
US consumers are paying an extra $100.9 billion on gasoline and diesel alone since the war started at the end of February, according to a cost tracker published by The Watson School of International and Public Affairs at Brown University.
That amounts to $770 per US household – a figure that will likely rise as fuel costs remain elevated.
“We’re looking at a fall that’s going to be the most expensive ever for gasoline, but really for diesel. And that’s going to fuel every aspect of inflation,” Tom Kloza, chief energy adviser at Gulf Oil, told CNN’s Omar Jimenez over the weekend.
