Show Notes
Crude oil prices soaring over $100 a barrel due to Middle East conflict are causing financial strain for fuel-dependent businesses. Airlines are hit hardest, with jet fuel costs surging over 116% from last year, leading to fuel surcharges. Rideshare and delivery drivers are also affected, with Canadian gas averaging $1.76 per liter. Shipping companies are implementing weekly surcharges, while others like buses and rail are holding off on new fees. These temporary measures aim to manage volatility, but expect potential price increases until prices stabilize.
