Why are gas prices going up again… and how can something happening across the world impact what you pay at the pump so quickly?
In this episode, I break down why gas prices change, how global oil supply chains work, and how one narrow waterway (strait) can influence fuel prices almost overnight. Most people hear about war, supply issues, or politics… but the real impact comes from how oil moves around the world.
After traveling and seeing gas prices jump firsthand, I wanted to understand what actually causes these shifts. This episode connects the dots between global events, oil transportation, shipping routes, and gas prices… in a way that actually makes sense.
