West Texas crude fell to about US$102.43 a barrel (down US$3.40) and Brent to about US$105.83 (down US$2.92) on 16 Sep 2026, after Saudi Arabia said the East-West Pipeline will partly reopen, reportedly at half capacity within days and full capacity within six weeks. Attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, Yanbu and near Mecca keep supply risk high, so do not assume fuel prices will fall much. For diesel and energy budgets, plan on prices staying elevated and review pricing or fuel-surcharge terms rather than waiting for a sharp drop.
