$1.8 billion in extra gasoline costs has hit Virginia drivers since the Iran war began, according to a congressional report highlighted by Virginia Mercury.
The report ties the added burden directly to higher fuel prices after the conflict started, framing the increase as a statewide consumer cost rather than a narrower industry impact.
The finding underscores how overseas fighting is feeding through to household budgets in Virginia, where gasoline has become a visible measure of the war's economic fallout.
