Commentary in the United States points to 'fossilflation', the idea that fossil fuel costs are driving up living expenses. The observation being shared is that credit card rewards now top out at 50 cents off a gallon of gasoline, a sign critics say shows how heavily fuel prices weigh on households. Discussion links high pump prices to oil market pressures, with some commenters tying them to tensions involving Iran and US policy under Trump.
Why now: People are reacting to high gasoline prices and debating their political and economic causes.
