Trump’s Gas Price Problem Is About to Get Much, Much Worse (w/ GasBuddy’s Patrick De Haan)
Summary
Patrick De Haan from GasBuddy joins Tim Miller to analyze the resurgence of oil prices above $100 and record-high diesel costs. De Haan attributes the spike to geopolitical escalations in the Red Sea, a lack of diplomatic progress, and Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries that have disrupted global diesel supply. With U.S. refineries operating at 98% capacity and inventories low, he warns of significant price hikes in the Midwest and Rocky Mountain regions. Listeners should expect national gasoline averages to hit new yearly highs and potential $7 diesel prices this winter.
