War with Iran costs Americans $100 billion

The war with Iran has already cost American consumers an estimated $100 billion in additional energy costs. According to a real-time estimate from Brown University, the bill is rising by about $1 million every two minutes.

The data comes from the Iran War Cost Tracker at Brown University's Watson School. According to it, the average American household has paid more than $760 extra for fuel since the war began on February 28.

Most of this cost is related to gasoline, but recently the increase in the price of diesel has become particularly worrying. On Friday, diesel reached an all-time high, while the price continued to rise in the following days.

On Monday morning, a gallon of gasoline cost about $5.90, according to AAA, about 60% more than a year ago.

Texas, the hardest hit state

Texas has borne the brunt of the additional costs. According to a Brown University tracker, consumers in the state have spent about $11 billion more on gasoline and diesel since the war began.

Following Texas are California with about $8 billion and Florida with about $5 billion in additional costs.

Rising energy prices are expected to have a wider impact on the economy, as more expensive fuels increase the costs of transporting goods and traveling.

US President Donald Trump has said Americans are willing to pay higher prices to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. However, inflation remains a top concern for American voters.

Meanwhile, it remains unclear how much oil is actually coming out of the Middle East. This situation is expected to have a direct impact on fuel prices in the coming weeks and months.

The war in Ukraine is also putting pressure on global energy markets, particularly due to Ukrainian attacks on Russian energy infrastructure.

According to the analysis, American consumers should prepare for a longer period of high fuel prices, while the rising cost of living could become an even more important issue ahead of the US midterm elections.
