Following the launch of Operation Epic Fury, Trump said gas prices have \u201cgone up less than [he] thought they\u2019d go up,\u201d due to Iran\u2019s de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the Administration\u2019s seeming failure to plan for such an outcome. At one point in the past week, however, the average price of gas in Nevada hit $4.21 per gallon; nearly a dollar more than the national average, which has doubled since a week ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is coming at a time when hardworking families are already being squeezed by high costs. Over the last year, families across the country paid $310 more for groceries than they did in 2024,\u201d <strong>wrote Senator Rosen.<\/strong> <strong>\u201c<\/strong>When gas prices go up even further, like we are currently seeing, the cost of other essentials \u2013 particularly groceries \u2013 rise even more. The pricing volatility in the oil market is making it impossible for Nevadans to budget for gas, groceries, energy, and other staples.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou campaigned on the promise that you were going to take action to lower costs for Americans. Now, you claim that the affordability crisis is \u201ca hoax,\u201d and your current actions show it. It\u2019s time to act swiftly and address the affordability crisis you created that is being compounded by the conflict abroad. I urge you to use all methods at your disposal to lower gas prices and provide certainty to Nevada families, including initiating a release from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve,\u201d <strong>she concluded.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read the full letter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosen.senate.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Sen-Rosen-Letter-to-President-Trump-to-Order-Release-from-Strategic-Petroleum-Reserve-3.10.26.pdf\"><strong>HERE<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Senator Rosen has been working to bring down prices for Nevada families by pushing back on the Trump Administration\u2019s cost-raising policies.
