Yesterday\u2019s daily rise of 15.8 cents per gallon was also the second largest daily rise ever, coming close to the record of 18.1 cents per gallon set as Hurricane Katrina tore through the Gulf 17 years ago. Diesel prices, however, didn\u2019t share the same fate as gasoline, as diesel soared to its largest daily gain ever: 22.2 cents per gallon, 6 cents higher than the previous record from 2013,&#8221; GasBuddy wrote.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-123b907a=\"\">\n<p>&#8220;This is a milestone that was hard to imagine happening so quickly, but with bipartisan support of severe sanctions on Russia, is not exactly surprising \u2013 it is the cost of choking off Russia from energy revenue,&#8221; said De Haan. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-123b907a=\"\">\n<p>&#8220;As Russia&#8217;s war on Ukraine continues to evolve and we head into a season where gas prices typically increase, Americans should prepare to pay more for gas than they ever have before. Shopping and paying smart at the pump will be critical well into summer,&#8221; the energy analysis expert added.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-123b907a=\"\">\n<p>GasBuddy wrote that it expects the prices to continue rising in the coming days and into the summer.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-123b907a=\"\">\n<p>&#8220;Seasonal factors including increased demand for gas, refinery maintenance and the switch to summer blend gas, on top of current geopolitical tensions, could propel prices upward of $4.25 per gallon by Memorial Day,&#8221; their statement reads.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-123b907a=\"\">\n<p>The rise in gas prices come as Russia continues its invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-123b907a=\"\">\n<p>&#8220;American and (European Union) sanctions are having a severe impact on Russia&#8217;s ability to sell crude oil, thus crude prices have skyrocketed,&#8221; De Haan told <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/money\/2022\/03\/06\/gas-price-tops-4-dollar-gallon\/9402743002\/\">USA TODAY.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the first time since 2008, the national average price for a gallon of gas has risen over $4.According to data from the American Automobile Association (AAA), Sunday&#8217;s<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1361461","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1361461","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1361461"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1361461\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1361461"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1361461"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1361461"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
