#Trump also set the expectation that Americans may need to weather higher #GasPrices “for a couple of months.”

“We’re never going to let them have a nuclear weapon, & if we have to pay a little extra for fuel for a couple of months, & we’ll do that, but we’re never going to allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon, because this beautiful White House wouldn’t look so good,” Trump told reporters.

Easter In America 2026

A cartoon for April 5, 2026

Crooks and Liars
Seen yesterday at a gas station in #jax #Florida
Gas was $4.25 at that station. #trump #trumpwar #gasprices

The price of gasoline at the station near the house is still holding at pre-Iran-war
levels (¥146/litre for Regular the last I looked).

Given that we're probably looking at a demand-destruction cliff sometime in May when reserves run out, it seems not a great idea to keep automobile consumption ticking along like normal? But I guess it'll be fine.

Edit: Oh! Per The Economist, Japan has 140 days of reserves.

From the Economist, here are Asian countries (there are a number in Africa, too) where oil and gas shortages are beginning to hit hard. China and the Philippines are disproportionately represented among those 20,000 sailors effectively being held hostage in Hormuz. https://www.economist.com/asia/2026/04/01/how-the-gulfs-war-is-becoming-asias-crisis-too
