The increasing price of gasoline is already affecting South Floridians, including Uber driver Cebonneur Jean and small business owner Richard Gotshall. The shipping industry cannot get through the Strait of Hormuz, where a fifth of the world's crude oil travels, causing global prices to plummet. The price of crude oil was over $110 a barrel on Monday. The increase in diesel prices is expected to impact the supply chain and inflation.
