Fuel prices in the USA are peaking just a day before the midterm elections.

Fuel prices in the U.S. are expected to rise to a two-year high just before the midterm elections, increasing pressure on Donald Trump. The average price of gasoline is projected to reach $3.46 per gallon, surpassing previous levels under Biden. High energy costs are contributing to voter concerns about living expenses, with many blaming the government for the price hikes. Trump has promised to reduce fuel prices to $2 per gallon, yet prices have risen significantly since his return to the White House. The increase is largely attributed to the war against Iran, which has disrupted oil supplies. Trump's controversial actions include temporarily lifting sanctions on Russian diesel to increase supply, but analysts doubt this will significantly lower prices. A long-term decrease in fuel costs may only come with peace between Russia and Ukraine.
