Oil and gas executives have warned the White House that gasoline prices could rise sharply in coming months as fuel inventories fall to critically low levels. The warning complicates efforts to curb inflation, which is already weighing on U.S. consumers, according to the Washington Post.
Industry representatives stated that current stock levels have reached points that historically precede price increases at the pump. The executives did not specify exact timelines or percentage increases in their communications.
The notification arrives while the administration continues work on inflation reduction measures. Officials have not yet responded publicly to the industry warning.
