Just over a week into Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the impacts of the conflict are starting to be seen at the gas pump.
According to AAA, the national price for a gallon of gas is $3.83 as of Friday afternoon, which is up 26 cents from a week ago.
California had the highest average, topping $5 per gallon. Meanwhile, the average price in Washington, Oregon, Alaska, Hawaii, Nevada, New York, Illinois, and Pennsylvania was above $4 per gallon.
Arkansas had the lowest average at $3.44 per gallon.
Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, predicted that the average price for a gallon of gas in some cities could hit $5 “in the next couple of weeks.”
De Haan previously predicted that gas prices, which hit a seven-year high last year, could continue to rise in 2022 and hit $4 per gallon, as IJR reported.
