Summary

  • Gasoline prices at the pump could climb sharply in coming months, oil and gas executives warned the Trump administration, according to a Washington Post report.
  • Critical fuel inventory declines are driving the warning, raising the risk of tighter supply just as the administration tries to keep inflation contained.
  • Higher pump prices would complicate that inflation fight by feeding directly into household energy costs and broader consumer-price pressures.
