Average U.S. retail gasoline prices crossed $3 a gallon for the first time since November on Monday as the conflict in the Middle East worsened, setting up a key test of public approval of President Donald Trump’s decision to attack Iran, analysts said.
Tehran’s retaliation in response to U.S. and Israeli strikes has disrupted global oil supply, as it hit production facilities in neighboring countries and ships in the Strait of Hormuz, a key global trade route. Oil prices have surged, with Brent crude rising more than 5% to nearly $77 per barrel, and fuel prices moving up in tandem with the feedstock costs.
So what terminology would you recommend that people use when discussing non-crossover SUVs and crossovers to distinguish them from each other in contexts where the differences are important?
I suppose people could say “non-crossover SUV” but it is a bit verbose, particularly when writing it out and using it for something that would otherwise be denoted by 3 letters.
