“Americans have never seen gasoline prices that high, neither have we seen the pace of increases so fast,” GasBuddy head of petroleum analysis Patrick De Haan said in a statement giving the news.
“That mixture makes this situation all the more remarkable and intense, with more sanctions on Russia curbing their flow of oil, leading to the high spikes in the price of all fuels: gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and more,” he explained.
