Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, also warned in anews releasethat the U.S. is inching closer to reaching an all-time record high for gas prices. De Haan said the national average for gas could increase to $4.50 soon.
He noted that recent U.S. sanctions on Russia, which are in response to the war in Ukraine, have also impacted gas prices.
“We’ve never been in this situation before, with this level of uncertainty. As we lose a major global producer [Russia] under the weight of deserving bipartisan sanctions for invading a sovereign country, the cost is high,” De Haan added in the release. “Americans will be feeling the pain of the rise in prices for quite some time, with little good news foreseen.”
