Pencabutan efisiensi bahan bakar Trump memperburuk lonjakan harga bensin AS di tengah krisis minyak perang Iran

Saat konflik AS-Iran mengganggu pasokan minyak global melalui penutupan Selat Hormuz—yang mendorong harga di atas $100 per barel—pencabutan administrasi Trump terhadap standar efisiensi bahan bakar kendaraan memperbesar lonjakan harga bensin domestik, membatalkan keuntungan efisiensi selama puluhan tahun yang sebelumnya meredam guncangan semacam itu.

Harga minyak telah melonjak di atas $100 per barel sejak serangan AS-Israel terhadap Iran akhir bulan lalu menutup Selat Hormuz, melalui mana 20% minyak bumi dunia lewat (lihat liputan sebelumnya tentang lonjakan pasar dan pemotongan produsen). Harga bensin AS sedang naik, tapi tidak seberat lompatan 50% embargo minyak 1973, yang menyebabkan pensuapan dan antrean di SPBU. Respons era Nixon mencakup seruan penghematan energi seperti melewatkan lampu Natal.  Today's milder impacts stem from the fracking boom—making the US top global producer—and federal fuel economy rules. Since 1973, gasoline use per economic output has fallen over 70%, with vehicles traveling nearly twice as far per gallon. The 1975 CAFE standards doubled fleet efficiency from 10 mpg in 1970 to 20 by 1990; Obama-era rules pushed toward 30 mpg by 2020, stabilizing oil demand despite more driving.  Trump has reversed this. Last summer's 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' zeroed CAFE penalties; February's EPA actions repealed Biden tailpipe standards and the greenhouse gas 'endangerment finding.' Official projections claimed $1.3 trillion in vehicle savings but $1.5 trillion in extra fuel/repair costs by 2055—at $3/gallon gas and $80/barrel oil, now invalidated by the crisis.  “O harga minyak lebih tinggi dari asumsi membuat pencabutan kurang dapat dibenarkan,” kata Richard Revesz, mantan pengawas kendaraan EPA. Joshua Linn dari Resources for the Future menyatakan: “Jika minyak tetap tinggi dan volatil akibat instabilitas, itu berbeda.” Ekonom energi Christof Rühl menambahkan: “Kebijakan memperlambat peningkatan efisiensi.” Kelompok lingkungan sedang menggugat pencabutan tersebut.

Oil prices climbed above $100 a barrel on Monday after the latest escalation in the U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran heightened concerns about supply disruptions and tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post that the price spike would be temporary and would ease once Iran’s nuclear threat is eliminated.

Oil prices have surged past $90 a barrel a week after the US and Israel launched major attacks on Iran, escalating into a Middle East war. The conflict has stranded oil shipments in the Persian Gulf and damaged key facilities, disrupting supplies. Consumers globally face higher gasoline and diesel costs as a result.

President Trump justified U.S. strikes on Iran's nuclear program despite oil prices topping $100 per barrel, following Iranian attacks on tankers that disrupted Gulf shipping. He prioritized preventing Iran's nuclear armament over short-term energy costs, announcing further measures to ease U.S. gas prices.

The ongoing conflict with Iran has halted shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, driving up global oil and gas prices. This surge is providing short-term gains for producers outside the Persian Gulf region, such as Exxon Mobil and Chevron. Consumers in the US and Europe are facing higher bills as a result.

The war between the United States, Israel, and Iran, started on February 28, 2026, has driven oil prices above 100 dollars per barrel, closing the Strait of Hormuz and creating volatility in global markets. In Mexico, this could mean additional oil revenues of 406 billion pesos if the average price holds at 90 dollars for the year. However, the conflict has also depreciated the Mexican peso and accelerated inflation to 4.02 percent in February.

Oil prices swung sharply on Tuesday after a U.S. Energy Secretary's claim of a Navy escort through the Strait of Hormuz was corrected by the White House, amid ongoing disruptions from the U.S.-led operation against Iran. Brent crude fell to around $81 per barrel before recovering to close near $91. The incident highlights efforts to stabilize oil flows through the strait, which carries 20% of the world's oil.
