Track Price Increases
Oil prices surged initially due to the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, but have pulled back slightly due to recent ceasefire negotiations. [1, 2]
• WTI Crude (U.S. Benchmark): Rose from $67.00 to $84.71 (an increase of $17.71 per barrel).
• Brent Crude (Global Benchmark): Rose from $72.00 to $88.98 (an increase of $16.98 per barrel). [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Calculate Total Economic Impact
Multiplying the daily consumption by the price increases over the 143 elapsed days yields the macro-level impact on oil inputs:
• Using U.S. WTI pricing: (19,400,000text{ bbl/day}times $17.71text{ increase}times 143text{ days}=mathbf{$49.13}text{ billion})
• Using Global Brent pricing: (19,400,000text{ bbl/day}times $16.98text{ increase}times 143text{ days}=mathbf{$47.11}text{ billion})
✅ Summary of the Math
The raw increase in crude oil prices has cost the United States between $47.1 billion and $49.1 billion in added energy expenses since the war began.
