Prices reflect the upward movement in oil prices as the Strait of Hormuz remained closed By Mark Huffman of ConsumerAffairs April 27, 2026 Gas prices rise again: The national average for regular gasoline is $4.11 a gallon, up $0.07 from last week, driven by geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and higher oil prices. Diesel trends diverge: Diesel averages $5.45 a gallon, down about $0.10week-over-week, but still $1.90 higher than a year ago, signaling potential upward pressure on consumer goods prices. Oil volatility driving outlook: Crude prices near $97 (WTI) and $106 (Brent) reflect supply risks tied to Middle East disruptions, with forecasts calling for continued volatility and possible spikes above $110 if tensions persist. The on-off nature of Middle East peace negotiations is being reflected in the price of gasoline. The week is starting with prices moving higher again after a mid-April decline. AAA reports the national average price of regular gas is $4.11 a gallon, seven cents higher than a week ago. A year ago, the price was $3.15 a gallon. Before the start of the war, it was just under $3 a gallon. The average price of diesel fuel is $5.45 a gallon, which is down almost 10 cents a gallon in the last week. Thats significant, since the cost of diesel fuel plays a major role in the cost of moving food and other products to market. The cost of diesel is $1.90 a gallon more than it was a year ago, an increase that may soon show up in consumer prices. Oil prices remain elevated Currently, the price of gasoline is being influenced by the price of oil, which has spiked since the start of hostilities with Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Crude oil prices are trading near multi-month highs to start the week, with global benchmarks pushed upward by ongoing geopolitical tensions and supply disruptions and analysts warning that volatility is likely to persist. West Texas Intermediate (WTI), the U.S. benchmark, recently traded around $97 per barrel, while Brent crude, the international benchmark, was about $106 per barrel as of late last week, according to market data. Concerns about the future price of oil intensified again on Monday as stalled U.S.-Iran talks added to fears of constrained supply, helping push crude prices higher. In some trading sessions, oil has climbed… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago - AIG Completes CEO Succession Plan With Anderson to Takes ReinsAmerican International Group Inc. made it official with an announcement today that Eric Anderson will become president and CEO on June 1.

- The ‘heat or eat’ reality: Why 1 in 5 Americans are skipping meals to stay w...Rising energy costs are forcing many households to cut back on food, risk safety, or fall behind on bills By Kristen Dalli of ConsumerAffairs April 23, 2026 Nearly one in five lower-income Americans are skipping meals or cutting back on groceries just to afford heating and electricity during colder months. Many households are making risky trade-offs, with some turning to unsafe heating methods or falling behind on rent and other essential bills. Most dont know help is available, with 74% unaware of where to find emergency energy assistance programs like LIHEAP. When temperatures drop, most people expect higher heating bills but for millions of Americans, the impact goes far beyond a seasonal expense. Its a daily balancing act between staying warm and covering basic needs. New data from Payless Power highlights just how tough those choices have become, especially for lower-income households. From skipping meals to using potentially unsafe heating methods, many families are making difficult and sometimes dangerous trade-offs just to get through the winter. ConsumerAffairs spoke with CEO Brandon Young who shed light on whats driving this growing heat or eat crisis and what it means for consumers trying to keep up. Making sacrifices Young explained that the "heat or eat" dilemma has existed as long as energy costs have been a burden on tight budgets. However, rising electricity prices and unpredictable cold-weather events have made it more acute. Our survey found that 19% of lower-income Americans have skipped meals or cut back on groceries to afford their heating or electricity bills during cold months, he said. That's nearly one in five people making a direct choice between food and heat. When you zoom out, 60% of lower-income Americans made some kind of financial sacrifice to cover winter energy costs. Strategies for saving Young says there are a few ways to make a real difference without spending much money. Lowering your thermostat. Even a few degrees while you sleep or when you're out, which is the most common thing people already do, but its for good reason. Our survey found 34% of lower-income Americans use this as their main way to manage winter bills. Sealing drafts around doors and windows. It sounds basic, but 19% of lower-income Americans told us their homes are poorly insulated and lose heat fast, even small fixes like weatherstripping… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago
