Boom goes the fuel budget.
As the Middle East does its usual fireworks routine—this time featuring a very expensive U.S.
cameo—gas prices across America are once again doing Olympic-level pole vaults. National average?
Pushing $4.10 per gallon. Your road trip? Cancelled. Your paycheck? Already crying. And your government?
Still pretending “market forces” are the real villain, not that little military flex in Iran last week.
The Biden administration says it’s “monitoring” the situation—which, in political language, means refreshing GasBuddy and hoping it sorts itself out.
Meanwhile, oil traders are popping champagne, watching prices spike like it’s 2003 all over again.
And Americans?
We’re back to that romantic pastime of yelling at gas station signs and pretending we know how crude futures work.
Let’s not forget how we got here: the U.S.
decided to get a bit explosion-happy in the Gulf, and oil markets, as always, panicked like influencers at an Instagram outage.
Brent and WTI surged. OPEC smirked.
And regular people just want to know if they should start biking to Walmart or barter for diesel with granola bars.
What’s wild is how predictable this is.
Bomb Iran → oil goes up → America pays → cue angry headlines → absolutely no policy change.
It’s a cycle as American as drive-thru Starbucks and debt ceiling drama.
And while politicians blame “global instability,” voters know exactly what’s up: war might be good for arms dealers, but it’s a total flop at the pump.
Even electric car owners aren’t safe—because utility companies saw oil rise and said, “Oh, we want in on that too!” So now everyone’s broke, no one’s mobile, and carpooling is back from the dead.
Congrats, Pentagon.
You’ve revived the ‘90s—but with less optimism and worse credit scores.
So buckle up—just not in your car.
It’s too expensive to start it.
🧨 You made it to the end. now what?
Like that roast? Don't keep it to yourself.
