伊朗冲突引发的汽油价格上涨正对低收入家庭造成尤为严重的冲击，纽约联邦储备银行最新研究显示。
经价格调整后，富裕家庭3月份汽油支出基本保持稳定，而低收入美国民众则缩减了相关开支。纽约联储指出，年收入低于4万美元的低收入群体可能已转向拼车或公共交通等更经济的出行方式。
报告强调，尽管当前阶段消费趋势差距在数值上更为明显，但高低收入家庭汽油支出差距与2022年俄乌冲突导致燃料成本上次飙升时的情况相似。
这项基于3月价格数据的研究显示，当月普通汽油均价从每加仑3美元下方快速攀升至4美元上方。美国汽车协会数据显示，此后油价持续上涨，周三已触及每加仑4.54美元的平均水平，较冲突爆发时涨幅达52%。
该研究为所谓"K型"消费模式提供了新证据：年收入超过12.5万美元的高收入家庭维持或增加开支的同时，受价格挤压的低收入家庭正在收缩支出。
