Chevron's president of downstream, midstream, and chemicals, Andy Walz, has urged Americans to drive less amid soaring oil prices, which are influenced by the ongoing US-Iran-Israel conflict and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. This strategic waterway is vital for global oil trade, with approximately 20% of the world's seaborne oil and natural gas passing through it. Walz stated that conserving energy could help Americans save money at the gas pump, although he acknowledged that there is likely no 'silver bullet' to reduce prices in the current global market. The situation has been exacerbated by President Donald Trump's recent announcement of a blockade on the Strait, following failed peace talks. The blockade is expected to complicate the already tense situation, with a ceasefire between the US and Iran set to expire on April 22.
