Summary:
Gas prices in California have increased by an average of 30 cents per gallon as of March 2 compared to the previous month. The ongoing war in Iran is putting additional strain on global oil supplies, which may contribute to further price rises. The Automobile Club of Southern California noted that while the exact impact of the Middle East conflict on energy costs remains uncertain, consumers can expect higher prices. Contributing factors include the closure of major California refineries and the state's mandatory switch to a special environmental summer fuel blend.

Scripture: Proverbs 22:7 (NASB 1977)
"The rich rules over the poor, And the borrower becomes the lender's slave."
Commentary:
Proverbs names how everyday pressure works when costs jump fast. People feel it at the pump first. When war strains oil supply and refineries go offline, dependence and debt tighten quietly, and the poor carry the heaviest weight. This is one of the patterns Scripture describes in the last days: instability in nations and markets that exposes who really controls access to basics.
