Moody's: Since the outbreak of the US-Iran war, the average American household has spent an additional $447 on energy costs
Moody's Analytics states that since the US-Iran conflict, the average energy expenditure for ordinary American households has increased to $447.19, with the national increase approaching $6 billion.
Gasoline costs account for about half of the additional expenditure, diesel has risen by over $2 billion, and airline fuel has increased airline ticket expenses by nearly $1 billion.
If energy prices remain unchanged, household purchasing power could lose nearly $2,000 over the next year due to rising energy costs, with low-income groups being particularly affected.
Currently, the average price of gasoline is $4.39 per gallon, diesel is $5.52 per gallon, and airline ticket prices in April have increased by over 20% year-on-year.
