Russia’s invasion of Ukraine at the end of February created a worldwide panic at the pump as crude oil prices skyrocketed, part of the ripple effect of supply-demand disruptions from the sanctions handed down on Vladimir Putin and his regime.
March became the origin of the gas price spikes that eventually hit an all-time-average high of over $5 in June.
Since then, there has been some relief (relatively speaking) as we near the midpoint of August.
