Gas and groceries
- $4.48 a gallon of regular gas, May 5, 2026. (AAA national averages)

- 5.5 million fewer people getting food assistance in one year. (USDA monthly participation table (data as of Oct. 9)
What remains uncertain. Some of the increase came from refinery damage, low inventories and China holding back fuel exports, not Hormuz alone.
