America mein gas ke prices ne ek baar phir record level chhua hai. Average price $4.54 per gallon ho gaya hai, jo Ukraine War ke baad ka sabse high hai. Iski wajah hai Iran mein chal rahi jung.

AAA ke mutabiq, war se pehle gas ka price around $3 per gallon tha. Ab yeh $4.54 hai — matlab ek gallon ke liye $1.50 zyada de rahe hain Americans. AAA ne yeh data diya hai.

Americans kaise kar rahe hain cope?

Log apni aadat badal rahe hain. Ipsos, Washington Post aur ABC News ke ek poll ke mutabiq, Americans driving kam kar rahe hain, vacations cancel kar rahe hain, aur apne budgets tighten kar rahe hain. Ipsos ke is survey mein yeh baat saamne aayi hai.

Kuch log quietly maan rahe hain ki is summer ka maza pichle summer jaisa nahi hoga. High gas prices ne unki planning ko bigaad diya hai.

Kya ceasefire se price girega?

Middle East mein conflict teetering hai — matlab tentative ceasefire ki baat chal rahi hai. Lekin experts ka kehna hai ki higher gasoline prices yahan rehne wale hain. War khatam hone ke baad bhi prices waapas $3 pe nahi aaenge.

Yeh situation Ukraine War ke early days (mid-2022) ki yaad dila rahi hai, jab bhi prices itne high the.

Hamaari Baat: Yeh sirf shuruaat hai

Seedha baat karein toh — Americans ko ab apni driving habits permanently badalni padegi. Jo log har jagah car leke jaate the, unhe ab public transport ya carpool sochna hoga. Vacations ka budget bhi kam hoga. Yeh inflation ka ek aur layer hai jo common aadmi ki jeb pe seedha asar daal raha hai.

Hamari nazar mein, government ko fuel prices control karne ke liye kuch karna chahiye. War ke bahane prices badhna ek baat hai, lekin ceasefire ke baad bhi high prices rehna — yeh consumers ke saath unfair hai.
