Why Oil Is Down 7 Percent in a Week and What It Means for Gas Prices

from Energy Economics with Fexingo: Oil Prices, Renewables, and the Cost of Power · host Fexingo

On this episode of Energy Economics with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna examine why crude oil has fallen 7.6 percent in the last five days — the sharpest weekly drop in months — while gasoline prices at the pump have barely budged. They unpack Vance's comments on Iranian oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz, the disconnect between headline oil prices and consumer costs, and what that spread means for inflation data. If you've been watching gas fall slower than oil, this is the episode that explains why. #OilPrices #GasPrices #CrudeOil #StraitOfHormuz #Iran #Inflation #CPI #Gasoline #EnergyEconomics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Economics #WTI #Brent #PumpSpread #LucasAndLuna #OilDrop #RefineryMargins Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
