“Oil prices’ lurch above $100 a barrel is propelling the U.S. past another unwelcome milestone: The war with Iran is sticking Americans with a 12-figure bill.
U.S. consumers have collectively spent about $107 billion more on gasoline and diesel during the Iran conflict and disruptions from the Russia-Ukraine conflict than they would have had there been no war, according to estimates by the Climate Solutions Lab at Brown University.
