U.S. Consumers Have Paid $471 More for Fuel Since the Iran War Began

U.S. consumers have paid an average of $471 more for fuel since the Iran war began February 28, according to a Reuters report published October 26. Tuesday's second straight oil decline, with Brent crude near $115 a barrel, does not reduce that total. Household costs keep accumulating while futures, contracts pricing oil for later delivery, move day to day.
