Minneapolis residents are likely to feel the effects of the escalating conflict between Iran and the US in their daily lives, particularly at the gas pump. With benchmark Brent crude trading at nearly $90 a barrel and regular gasoline in the US climbing to an average of $4 a gallon, the increased cost of fuel may impact commuters and businesses in the Twin Cities area.
