Iraq War Fuel Costs Soar Amid Private and Government Contracts
The United States in Iraq pays from $1.99 to $5.30 per gallon under mixed contracts, with a fixed center rate of 3.51 for diesel and 3.15 for gas. Kuwait subsidies cover about half the fuel, but costs rise due to administration and market swings. Monthly military fuel use exceeds 50 million gallons at about $153 million, aided by aviation demand, armored vehicles, and generators. Pentagon data show U.S. consumption around 12 million barrels monthly, a small share of global oil demand, while experts attribute oil price hikes mainly to fear rather than Iraqi fuel use.
