Drivers Bemoan High Gasoline Prices With No Relief In Sight
Newsy
As the war Russia is waging on Ukraine continues and demand for gas continues to grow, experts are not expecting relief at the pump any time soon.
Just as Americans gear up for summer road trips, the price of oil remains stubbornly high, pushing prices at the gas pump to painful heights.
Drivers were paying $4.37 for a gallon of regular Tuesday, on average, according to AAA. That's 25 cents higher than a month ago, and $1.40 more than a year ago.
"The price of gas is ridiculous," said Joel Baxter, a nurse, who was filling up his car at a BP station in Brooklyn, New York, so that he could commute 26 miles to work. "The money, your salary, is practically the same, and everything is going up, so they should do something about it."
