The Iran war may be unfolding thousands of miles away, yet its economic shock is hitting American drivers directly. Over the past month, petrol prices across the US have risen sharply, placing new pressure on households and businesses.

According to AAA data, the national average price of a gallon of petrol has jumped from $2.98 to about $4.02. That is a rise of roughly 35 per cent in just one month.
