DoorDash introduces emergency fuel relief for drivers as gas prices soar

DoorDash introduces emergency fuel relief for drivers as gas prices soar

DoorDash is rolling out an emergency relief program to help delivery drivers cope with rising gas prices as the Iran war drives fuel costs higher.

The program, effective immediately through April 26, 2026, combines cash-back incentives with weekly payments to help reduce fuel costs for active Dashers.

At the center of the initiative is a 10% cash back offer on gas purchases for Dashers using the DoorDash Crimson Visa debit card. The company is also introducing weekly relief payments for Dashers who drive at least 125 miles while making deliveries, with payouts ranging from $5 to $15 depending on mileage.

Dashers who reach 125 miles earn $5 (about $1.00 per gallon in savings), those who hit 200 miles earn $10 (about $1.25 per gallon), and those who drive 250 miles earn $15 (about $1.50 per gallon).

Drivers who qualify for both benefits could see total savings between $1.40 and $1.90 per gallon, depending on how much they drive.

“Rising gas prices have a real impact on Dashers, especially those who are delivering the most,” said Cody Aughney, vice president of dasher and logistics at DoorDash. “This program is about giving Dashers real savings at the pump.”

The move is part of DoorDash’s broader effort to support its driver network as fuel prices remain a key concern for gig workers who rely on their vehicles for income.

The effort comes as gas prices rise sharply nationwide.

The national average is now $3.95 per gallon, up $1.02 from a month ago, according to AAA.

Prices are climbing across nearly every region, with some states already well above the national average. On the West Coast, drivers are seeing the highest costs, with prices reaching $5.79 per gallon in California and $5.27 in Washington.

Along the East Coast, gas prices are nearing—or in some cases surpassing—$3.70 per gallon, including $3.86 in New York and $3.80 in Maine.

Nike sued over alleged failure to refund tariff costs to consumers

EEOC investigating Nike over diversity discrimination allegations

Nike is facing a new class action lawsuit accusing the company of failing to refund tariff-related costs it passed on to consumers through higher prices.

In the proposed lawsuit, consumers argue Nike should not be allowed to keep “significant” refunds it may receive after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in February that the president lacked authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose certain tariffs.

Nike has said it paid roughly $1 billion in tariffs on imported goods as a result of those actions. Plaintiffs allege the company raised prices on some footwear by $5 to $10 and on some apparel by $2 to $10 to offset those costs.

“Nike has made ​no legally binding commitment to return tariff-related overcharges to ​the consumers who actually paid them,” the complaint, filed in federal court in Portland, Oregon, states.

“Unless restrained by this ‌court, ⁠Nike stands to recover the same tariff payments twice — once from consumers through higher prices and again from the federal government through tariff refunds,” the complaint continues.

The lawsuit is one of several filed against major companies, including Costco, alleging they failed to pass tariff-related refunds on to consumers.

During a March conference call, Nike said its fiscal quarter ending in August 2026 would likely be the final period in which tariffs materially impact gross margins.

The lawsuit comes weeks after Nike announced plans to lay off roughly 1,400 employees across its Global Operations team.

In a memo to staff, Chief Operating Officer Venkatesh Alagirisamy said the cuts would primarily affect the company’s technology division across North America, Asia and Europe, representing just under 2% of its global workforce.
