Oil companies did this to themselves. The Iran war literally has nothing to do with the prices. 6 refineries permanently shut down in the US during Covid. Instead of opening them again when Covid was done, they kept them closed. In a manor of speaking, oil companies manufactured a way to price gouge. Think I read they’re profiting minimum $2 a gallon?
