Strait Of Hormuz Is Open, But Lower Gas Prices Could Take Time

Traffic And Trepidation In The Persian Gulf Could Keep Gasoline Prices From Dropping Quickly

NEW YORK (AP) — After U.S. President Donald Trump and Iran’s foreign minister said the Strait of Hormuz was fully open to commercial vessels after almost seven weeks of war, oil prices plunged 10% and the stock market rallied Friday.

Motorists, hoping for relief at the pump, wondered how quickly gasoline prices might fall once oil tankers stuck in the Persian Gulf were moving again. A gallon of regular gasoline cost $4.08 on average in the U.S. Friday, which was 37% more than before U.S. and Israel attacked Iran but down a few cents from a week ago.

But when gas prices spike, they don’t typically drop as quickly as the cost of crude. Even if Iran keeps the waterway open in the face of a U.S. blockade of its vessels, it still could take months for fuel prices to return to levels resembling those enjoyed before the war began Feb. 28, energy experts said.

Heresy Financial:  4-15-2026

If you’ve been keeping an eye on the headlines, the numbers are becoming impossible to ignore. The United States is currently staring down a debt-to-GDP ratio of 122%—a level of financial strain we haven’t seen since the height of World War II. For many, this raises a haunting question: How does the government get out of this hole?

The reality is that there are no “easy” buttons. When you dig into the mechanics of federal finance, you realize the government is walking a tightrope between economic collapse and the risk of runaway inflation.

Why the Government Runs Like a Bloated Chrome Tab

Why the Government Runs Like a Bloated Chrome Tab

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black / Sovereign Man)      April 17, 2026

I had a Commodore 64 “computer” when I was a kid. I know I’m dating myself with that reference... but I’m telling you— back in the 80s, a Commodore was pretty hot stuff.   It was basically an antique typewriter that you plugged into a television (sort of like a Nintendo or other gaming console). And they called it a Commodore “64” because it had a whopping 64 kilobytes of RAM.

"Kilobytes" is not a typo. For context, most mobile phones today have 8 gigabytes of RAM, and a gigabyte is roughly 1 million times a kilobyte
